When we got down to Arkansas, my dad was real hip and starting a farm. Never been a farmer in his life, that kind of thing. And so when we bought the property and he started building a house, he would stop building a house to go buy an animal. And the first thing he wanted to buy was chickens. And so he was gonna go look at these chickens and mom says, don't bring no chickens. So, you know, we're not set up for it. He says, no, I'm just gonna look and see what we can get. So when we get started, I have a better idea of what to look for. And my dad took me and we went to this place near the big barn and there was about chickens in there. All of a sudden he started picking chickens and we brought like 50 chickens home. We had no fencing, no barn, no nothing. And in the middle of the night, he was trying to jury rig a way of doing things to at least keep the chickens from running away. Well, you know, this went on with a cow, horse, milking. I mean, he was so unprepared. I can tell you so many stories, Kevin, and all of them hilarious. But one that really got me into, after he built the barn, he decided he was gonna get fryers, which are just a chicken, a baby chicken. You let them grow up and when they get to be about a certain age, you process them. And they were at that age, they're still fairly young. Younger the better from what my dad told me. And so he got out, we're gonna reset.
