I'm so sad! We really had to sell the goats since we're planning to move 1000 miles, have to get this house fixed up and on the market, and I have to be gone for interviews etc. etc. They're due to kid mid-May and my husband would be alone with them when they kidded and he wouldn't be comfortable with that. Plus I'd rather not make them move in the middle of lactation - we learned the hard way when we bought goats that their production drops off a lot if you move them while they're lactating. We had just got everything perfect for them - their little barn is so perfect and they have this nice hill where they like to lay in the sun, they have a good place to be in the sun yet out of the rain, etc. They're such cute little content peaceful quiet animals. They're all sold and now we just have to get them to their homes. I'm really going to miss them a lot. It makes me feel kind of empty, thinking about them not being here. I've only had them less than a year but they're such wonderful animals. I keep telling myself we'll be able to get more when we get where we're going.....but who knows when that's going to happen! We have to sell the house, I need to find a job, we should probably rent a place in a new area before we commit to staying there permanently. This is going to be a long process.

It is hard. We had sheep for 8 years and sold them all this past winter. There were many really good, logical reasons for doing so, but I still miss having lambs right now.

That is very sad to hear. You gotta do what is right for your circumstances.

Change is never easy... even if it is nessasary.

That's a tough one. It would be hard for me too. But you do what you have to. Take care.

As much as I prefer having fruit trees and roses to my escapee goats (there's always one that figures out how to get out, no matter how tight the fences!), I still miss having them, especially this time of year when the kids are born. I know it will be awfully quiet at your house when they are all delivered to new homes. I hope you're able to find the perfect house, the perfect job, and a lovely new herd to hug.  |
