  1. We have two lock boxes attached to the milk can by our front office door.
  2. One is labeled A the other is B. You will need to text Lacey (970-819-0102) or Aleigh (970-846-3834) to request the code.
  3. DO NOT SHARE THE CODE!!! We need to be able to track who has used the scale and when.
  4. Once you have weighed your animals, return the key ASAP!!! Other families need to weigh also.
  5. If your animals seem sick in ANYWAY, please do not take them to the scales unless Lanny has checked them out. We do not want to spread any illnesses!
