We take a bunch of sheep to market soon and we will be down from 45 right now to the 30 ewes that will hang in here through winter. It is a lot of work but especially for you folks in the deep south that has the super hot and humid summers.

We sure understand what ya are saying....and support ya with it!!....our health is decreasing our ability to fuction in the heat, so even cutting grass isn't as easy as it used to be....ya sure ain't a "whipper-snapper" anymore.....

You did the right thing. It's always hard to sell your stock when you're bonded with them...but it's even harder having to care for all of them sometimes

Hope ya have a better day tomorrow!!....chance of rain increases here on tues/wed time frame....we get to experience "groundhog day" until then....

@CntryBoy777. .it will get better here....come winter time...this heat and humidity is opressive for sure, difficult to just get the basic chores done, let alone the projects....very fustrating for all...)

I lived in Florida for close to 25 years total but what you are seeing is why we live in Tennessee. We get hot here but we have four seasons and the worst of our summers aren't like what you see.

I got enough winter and cold temps, early in "life" and when we landed on the farm in central Mississippi...coming from 2yrs in Maine....I knew I was a "true southerner"....having been born south of Miami.........I did spend 30+ yrs in the Memphis area...and it is much better here than there....for 2 reasons....soil and sea breezes.....too far away from a sea in Memphis for a breeze and when that clay gets wet it evaporates in the sun, before the clay can aborb anymore....this creates a situation of being in the oven with the broiler running too....without any circulation....now that I have aches and pains....I'd much rather sweat than shiver....

 

[CntryBoy777]

Glad it all worked out for ya!!....just think of it being a boarding place without a "bill".....and ya will be able to catch a "breath" when ya need to......

 

[AmberLops]

Yay for a happy ending!

Hey, @B&B Happy goats , did you know that your goat milk soap is one of the best things to get buck funk off? Has it cured yet?

I am so happy for you, the goats and the family that got them. It couldn't have worked out any better.
