Neck to neck

Always good to have your supporters cheating the system with multiple emails in a neck to neck competition.

It was very clear you were to vote once a day.

Truth

Let the dog eating begin.

Hilarious

Ayrshire Farm neglect

This is an example of what Ayrshire Farm won't show you on a tour. Pigs without wallows showing signs of severe stress from the heat. Pigs don't sweat and require wallows to regulate their body temperature.  In this video you also see emaciated pigs dying as a result of untreated parasites.

It's heartbreaking.

Emails were ignored. I think the public and every other farm in the contest needs to be aware the #1 voted farm does not meet submission requirements.

If you run a contest, play by the rules you set.  Can you imagine running an essay contest for a college scholarship and awarding it to a person who isn't a student, hasn't applied to schools, and has no intention of going to college...and awarding it after you've been made aware from several sources?

Its not right.  That contest is for working farms. Cold Antler Farm is not a working farm and never will be.  To enter a contest intended to help farmers so you can pay the mortgage of your private residence Is disturbing.  To run a contest intended to help farmers and not disqualify such an entry is disturbing.

Merlin question

How much did Jenna buy Merlin for?

She's a beauty!

Freaking horse bug

From age 10 to 20 I lived and breathed horses. I rode just about everyday. Starting with lessons and progressing to a working student. When I moved to VA from NJ I discovered large public equestrian facilities weren't as prevalent. In Loudoun County (generally) anyone that rides had their own farm/barn/horses.

Wanda, the town gossip and counter help at the local Philomont General Store heard there was a new girl in town looking to ride. She spread the word and I immediately picked up barn work with horses on several local farms. When I got my license I started working on these farms daily, in addition to farm sitting.

I started riding with one of my brothers friends all over the country side and had a blast.  Such a contrast to the ring work in NJ.  I missed my farm friends in NJ but was thrilled to still be in the horse world.

I eventually started leasing a horse from one of the barns I worked at.  He was extremely difficult and dangerous at times.  Soon after he was sold I went to collage and took a horse break (and filled the void with Cali and Sadie).

I've worked with horses since college but nothing clicked. It wasn't fulfilling.  I hated having to work with the horses at Ayrshire, it meant time away from the pigs.

Recently I've been finding myself looking at horses for sale.

This mare is located in my neck of the woods.

Obviously I can't afford to purchase, board, or maintain a horse. I asked them about leasing, they'd prefer to sell.  I asked about schooling her or hacking around until she sells...we shall see!

Zorro

And behind door number 2

We have a complete asshole

Either or

Either Hillary knew what she was doing or she doesn't understand the purpose of a top secret security clearance.

That's not promising.

Cat update

Update from the rescue who took the cat now named Zorro.

Following is a link about what we think possibly happened to cause his neurological issues:

On a mission.

I'm on a mission to purchase the transcripts from Commonwealth v. Lerner, Sandy.

I won't let myself do it until I've paid off my debt/loans. 

I have an deer antler chandelier made of 11 large antlers.  I believe it's authentic, not a reproduction.  Real deal antler chandeliers are very expensive. 

I gave it to my aunt as a housewarming gift years ago. She and her husband are now moving cross country and slimming down on possessions...to include giving me back the chandelier. I didn't originally purchase it so I'm not sure what it's worth.

Where could I get it appraised? What professional could I get to write a letter of authenticity or at least confirm they are real. I want to ask big bucks for it.

Scammed Update

Last week Jenna told the client who purchased the logo in March it would be done on Tuesday, as in yesterday.

I asked the customer if it was delivered and this is her response:

"No. The pisser is that I run my own small business and ALWAYS invoice via PayPal, even for my $1 coloring pages. That eats into my profits, but protects the buyer and seller. I sell craft items locally and never take full payment up front, but only a deposit. I also run buys for large lots of charms and beads within my craft groups and have never gotten shafted before on any local or online transaction.  I haven't even had a scammer say they haven't received what was paid for (thanks to always charging for tracking). Of course, PayPal invoices give some level of security to myself and the person parting with their hard earned cash

I should have known better and now I have no recourse since I "donated" it using her PayPal link. Even if I had paid via invoice, it is past the 90 days for PayPal.

Kind of makes me angry because I am attempting to run a legit part time business so that I can continue to bring in income when I go to nursing school next year. Fortunately, I have a second part time job and a husband to cover it, but the extra money would have made it less of a sacrifice."

Shock and Awe revised

In this case its going to be Aw and Shock.  Aw them first, Shock them after.

Pokeberry Dye

Has anyone made and used Pokeberry dye?  Definitely on my list this summer!

It can also be used as an ink or watercolor.

Cat update

Update on the cat:

"He is doing pretty good.  He really likes the canned food and found his water bowl today.  His Fiv/felv/hw test was negative, he was vaccinated and dewormed, claws clipped. Although he appears blind his pupils are responding  to light.  His paw was not turning under today but he is still circling to the right.  

I talked with our visiting vet last night.  She does not think he was hit with a car if there is no hair loss or wounds.  Possible toxoplasmosis or some other infectious bacteria or virus possible.  His temperature was in the normal range.  I hope to get him to our vet in Boiling Springs this week for some blood work and to schedule his neuter. 

We moved him to the larger, lower cage after testing him today so he has a larger litter box and more space to circle. I'll keep you posted."

Apparently they think he is blind or partially blind which sheds light on his unwillingness to move, unusual stumbles, my initial thought of mobility issues.

They immediately realized he should be much more engaged and watching movements. I thought he just wasn't interested in me. I did the finger test to see if he followed them and I thought he did...but he wasn't very reactive time their preliminary tests.

So glad I picked him up!

Can you imagine being blind on the side of the road frozen in fear and confusion? Bless his heart for not hissing or swiping at me.

Social Security

We know you don't get social security. You aren't 62.

Funny she says she doesn't borrow money from family or friends, of course not, she steals and swindles it from good hearted strangers.

Stranger Security is what she's on.

She says she's worked for every penny she has? What?

Jenna Woginrich, since the creation of Cold Antler Farm how much in donations have you received? This only includes monies given with the understanding nothing will be provided in return, so dont include money taken for undelivered products.

Scammed!

One month later Jennas client asks where she is with producing the logo she paid for.

Working on it Jenna says.

Client generously donates Jenna money.

Where is the logo?

It's July and there's no delivery of the product her client paid $250 for.

Can't even come through for a person who hires and donates.

Scam evidence

This woman paid $250 for a logo.

Jenna said on March 16 she would start later in the week.

Coldantlerfarm@gmail.com

Credible businesses have websites.

Credible businesses have business email accounts.

No business website.

Dogsinourpark email?

This woman is a career con artist.

Would it kill her to say thank you?!

She acts like a complete bitch to Patti  who sent her money.

What is wrong with her readers supporting such an ungrateful manipulative brat.

Oh...by the way Jenna is blind and "needs" glasses.

She probably just put tape on a new pair claiming they are broken.

A rescue to the rescue!

They are assessing him Sunday at 1!

Manipulations

She's trying to say she only gets $20 worth of blog subscriptions a month?

I don't know about you but none of my doctors has ever called me  "girl".
