New Pet

Gator buggie



Cute little guys




Mom was not as friendly



Visited a gator farm south of Orlando this week. They get eggs from private and public lands. They also have their own female gators. The avg female gator will lay 27-30 eggs. This farm raises for meat and hides.They sell to local markets and the hides go to TX to thier plant for boots, purses,wallets...etc. They have over 20,000 gators here at a time.


We also visit some Dairy's in the area. We visited one of the larger cow\calf operations (Williams Cattle Company). They also feed the group dinner. We had prim rib and all the fixins. They also served Gator. I have had Gator before and find it to be very good. Their where a few in our group that could not bring themselves to try it.


I was in Orlando for a Managers Academy program. The program was very good.
