Loving the herd life
I do have 4 other children, but they are all school aged and gone from 7-4, so it's a lot of down time during the day. I mean, yes I have household chores, but I make my older kids pick their own messes up so I have a minimal amount to do. Just vacuuming, dusting, sweeping, moping and washing clothes. They put their own laundry up. Other than that, unless they have a dr appt or I need to go to the store, I don't have much to do all day.
I feed with 5 gallon buckets - I can carry 4 at a time, and they aren't full so it's not very heavy, just bulky. I impressed my 13 year old when I bought feed a few days ago by carrying 80 lbs on my shoulders from where I park to the feed shed, rather than moving the truck to unload. Good exercise! I had picked up groceries and backed the truck in to unload those, and didn't see any reason to start the truck to move it to unload the feed. I might if I had more than 4 or 5 bags though.
