Holy Cow - dat's a lotta babies! I am in awe of what you do!

I am not worthy. With the mud, the barn, the dogs, the hard kidding this year, and life I am truly ready to throw in the towel. It has just been too much too fast, I still cry every time I think of not ever seeing my precious Alondra again, that was truly the proverbial straw. She is still here but I know that it is coming. My diary is portable...anybody want to buy one?... just let me know.

As far as the kid crop...I have a good friend that is raising them for me and selling them ASAP. I could never do it without her. I am also selling goats, my goal is to be down to 25 seasoned milkers plus some first fresheners that are Jumanji kids that I might not even milk this year, depends on their udders and my time.

But to date I have had 79 kids born here. 41 bucks and 38 does. Only 19 or 20 more to freshen. We will break 100 kids easily.
Oh my that is a lot of kids!!!

:hugs I know your heart is hurting with the devastation from the snow and having to part with Alondra. I hope some time will ease that pain somewhat. I wish I could take Alondra but that isn't in the cards.

I can only imagine the stress of what you're dealing with. You may not see it now but it is truly a testament to your strength and resilience. :hugs

Alondra leaving is nothing but hard. It will leave a hole in your heart but knowing it's what's best for her and Mia will hopefully ease the pain somewhat.

Your friend must be pretty awesome too!
