On my way back from our farm this afternoon, I stopped in at a live stock and small animal auction in Telford, right on 11E, which is run by the WJ Auction Company LLC.
The had an ark full of different animals scheduled to be auctioned off today. The smaller animals, e.g. chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc. were in mostly wooden crates, so seeing the critters ahead of time is impossible and there were oodles of them!
I would have loved to stay to see everything but thought it best to leave before they got started selling, to remove any temptation of buying animals I'm not prepared to transport, house and feed. In time...
There were oodles of what looked like pigmy goats -
Here were my two favorites of the bunch -
Two Jennie mules AND a little Highland bull -
A Jack and a Jenny mule -
And rabbits. Lots and lots of rabbits -
Quail -
Pigeons, Guinea fowl and chickens, oodles of chickens -
There were also geese, ducks, pheasants, pigs, sheep and cow.
I was in my happy place.
The auction is held every Saturday, so rest assured that I will be somewhat of a regular once we get moved into our new house and settled!
