Last Friday I went down to the mill after work to pick up our weekly order of Creep Pellets and Show Feed that I mix in the creep feeder for my bosses calves that he has on a lease.
I've been checking on these calves and their mama's for the last 3 months and filling the creep feeder for about the same amount of time.
You'd think that since we call the order in early they'd have it ready but no.... too many special orders to mix their own show mix. Now granted my boss has is own special show mix that he feeds his steers. I use the the mills brew.
So instead of the show feed I took some 12% beef they had and the 14% round up pellets that we usually get.
Seeing as I was going to be needing a couple of bags of show feed for myself I asked if they were going to mix show feed today. Yes... they were going to mix it first thing since they had way more orders for it than they had had before. So I went down to the mill at lunch only to find that they hadn't mixed it yet.
Weren't going to mix it today either Might mix it tomorrow but no promise... too many special orders.
So I asked if they at least had a 25# bag of Calf Manna ... nope... place they normally ordered from went bankrupt... expecting a shipment tomorrow... Maybe...
So I ended up leaving with 2 bags of Tindle 50/50 16% (just in case....) and a 25# bag of Nurse Chow and a promise that they'd call me when (and if ) the Calf Manna got delivered or the show feed got mixed.
I've got enough to last me tonight and tomorrow morning but this is ridiculous! Since the mill changed hands all but one of the people that worked there and the store manager have quit or been run off. I think the one that didn't is fixing to. The couple of guys they hired you can't hardly find. Friday one of them was hiding between rows of sacked feed. All I wanted to do was get loaded and get left. I asked him what he was up to and he told me flat out he was hiding... he was tired of working and someone else could do the loading. :shock: The only one left to do the loading was the guy running the mixer. When I went to get him I got an earful about all he'd been doing all day was loading trucks... couldn't get anything mixed.
To make matters worse... I went in a week or so ago and placed my order told the guy exactly what I wanted and he wrote down something else.... This guy is one of the new owners :shock: :shock:
Then, too, doesn't affect me but the bosses order was to have been put on the dock to be picked up after closing on Saturday. When the boss got there to pick it up it wasn't there. There's two stories floating around at the mill. One is that someone took what was put out and the other is that the boys forgot to put the order out. -- When I was at the mill I counted the bags and I know the real story.
Ok now I feel better :cboy:
