How To Put Her Down?

[Egg_Newton]

Thank you everyone for your support. It really does help to talk to other goat people. Everyone else just thinks I'm crazy for not going to the grocery to buy my milk like the rest of the world.

I wanted to say I'm sorry for your loss. I have not encountered CL, thus far -- in fact, I don't know what it is but will look it up when I get home. I had a goat killed by a dog this year, purchased a nubian that died within 24 hours due to internal injuries it had recieved where I bought it from, and the replacement they gave me died inexplicably a month later. Goats are incredibly hard to lose, I think, due to their personality.

I also wanted to say: I empathize with not wanting an animal to go to waste. The animals I lost this year were all fed to my dogs after they were pelted and parted out. I slough the skulls so I can paint them, keep the hides so I can start tanning next year, and feel like it's justice to feed them to the dogs, as nature doesn't let things go to waste. With a diseased animal, where there were consumption concerns, I would burn them in a wood pile, as the ashes could be put in the garden.

Head up, hun You did all you could.

So, I picked up my packages from the butcher a few weeks ago. So far I made some homemade spaghetti sauce with the spicy Italian sausage, broiled some chops, and cooked a roast in the slow cooker. I must say goat is delicious!
