Good Lord and Butter! I hope you seriously put your foot/feet down with the milking thing! If he wants the milking goats...then HE should have the fun of milking them! Nevermind you have to sanitize everything...mastitis...all the FUN stuff! I like variety and everything...but still. Milking goats mean you're not going anywhere while they're milking! (day/night) everything! phew! (That's why i haven't bred mine...yet). I'll bet they ARE cute though!
So what's happening to all the smaller sheep? The finns and shetlands?

 

[Bridgemoof]

Jeez o' flip. What a nightmare moving everybody around. We pretty much got everybody where they are supposed to be except for the NEW goats are in the upper sheep shed! YEP! All my ewes are in the back pasture except for some of the Jacob ewes and Uriah are down at the creek with no hay, Dipsy is unhappy in the catwalk, and Finneas and Mac are locked in a teeny stall together because they weren't quite getting along. The boer goats and babies are on Finn Mountain. I swear if Tim thinks he tricked me, he is DEAD wrong if he thinks he's leaving those new goat where they are. Let me just tell you, the guy we got them from wanted to get rid of them because they were JUMPERS, jumping over his 4 foot fence with barbed wire. Now they are in the lot with a 3 foot fence along the ROaD! He put them there and LEFT! Well, I'm not babysitting them. And I AM NOT MILKING THEM! The babies are CUTE as a button though!

CUTE as a BUTTON!
Lookie

Poor Dipsy :/

Gosh, what a baad afternoon/evening. Spent hours trying to get everybody back to their new places after they escaped. Put the new goats back into a stall after herding them out of the sheep zone. The Boer momma goats and all their babies climbed onto the stone wall on Finn Mountain and got out and were all over the barnyard and in the front yard. Dipsy hopped the fence on the catwalk and got back in with ALL the ewes, including the coveted Finn sheep which may or may not be pregnant. Lily the Jacob was in the horse pasture. Brownie and Gingersnap were on the wrong side of the plastic fence. We were delivering hay in the pitch dark down on Jacob Beach trying to avoid electric wire.

I'm sorry you had a bad afternoon/evening.

I am beginning to wonder if Tim is an animal hoarder!

Seriously if my DH did anything like this... it would be GOOD-BYE Baby! Have a nice life!

Bridge doesn't he understand "parasite"load and things like quarantine. I would be terrified of all the "stuff" that could be coming into my farm. I think I'd be in a straight jacket by now!

Bridge...never start being the milkmaid!!!! Milking twice a day...everyday...really cuts into every single day! And when would you have any time to do your wool/felt art????

You are smiling in the picture and he see's this and thinks its all OK..................................

Wow, I don't know what to say. We love ya Bridge and that kind of scares me. I hope you really do think about getting a place for yourself---you are such a good person, with such a kind heart, and it blows my mind that someone would yell at you like that.

Thanks everyone for moral support. I'm so torn because I love this farm, but I can't stand him most of the time and the way he wants to do things. Having to re-adapt every day is tiring. Him yelling at me is so uncalled for. Oh, Shelly May, I was smiling in the picture because I took it of myself while holding that baby goat Tim was no where around. I DO think the baby goats are adorable. I want the best for them. Tim just wants to be an animal "flipper." He already has an ad on CL for some of the Alpine goats. When animals get here, I can't help but to fall in love with them and get attached to them. I want the best possible care for all of them. He just wants to move them in and move them out and make a profit.

Tim's quote to me today was "An entrepreneur chews off more than he can swallow, hoping he can learn to chew quickly." I said in your case "you bit off more than you can chew and now you're gagging."

I've always been able to get what I want on my own. Don't fear you guys, I am not a weak person. If I really need to get out of here I will. It will be hard, but I will. It'll just take some time and thought and planning on my part. He won't let me go easily, it will be a struggle. But I will have support of friends if I need it. Right now my money is tied up in my house with a two year rental lease on it, only a year and a half to go. I may have to wait until the lease is up. But that will give me time to plan my departure. Until then, I refuse to leave the sheep behind because they will be shipped off to auction before you know it.

And don't worry, I am not milking. I am not milking. I've made it very clear "I AM NOT MILKING."
