But do they have to cause collateral damage when they do so??

I'm with you on most all of that. The crap I see & hear! But not good to have NO contacts. (This forum helps with that) Like me, my friends are ageing & some just want to go with that & their "farm & animal" interests are often put aside. Eventually I may be there -- not yet! I try to keep active and keep any health issues at bay as long as I can. The animals I enjoy, providing for me & them, I enjoy. Just thankful to be able to do as much as I do. 75% of my work can be adjusted to fit the time & days that I want to work, that makes it doable. Right now it is just way busy...maybe another month of it, then not bad. Gives me a little extra to get myself where I feel comfy with quitting it all.
Yeah, we had some in between day temps and bad wind. Cold nights!! Believe the real cold is gone & just praying for more of the 70's before this area jumps into 90 & stays. You remember how it is here, I'm sure!

Just got done filtering milk. Got a nice surprise this morning. My kidding season is now complete and all 5 does delivered healthy kids. The tally stands even at 5 & 5. CC was nesting last night with a little discharge. I knew she was close, but not how close. This morning she gave me a beautiful little gray doeling single. She's marked similar to Dot's boys (CC is Dot's daughter, so figures). Afterbirth has been passed and kid is cleaned and mostly dried off. Hasn't nursed yet but I'll keep track of that over the coming hours. 
So I went from having 5 girls to double that 
Next season's kidding ought to be a blast!

Hit the nail on the head. There is just so much nonsense in the world today, and I understand where you are coming from. In my personal opinion, when people learn to become sufficient and work with the world around them, there's something special. Instead of rushing to a work of overtime, weekends, and holidays....you get to spend time in nature and to study the seasons and the animals. Holidays you can spend with family. You also get a sense of pride in your work, because you know what you're doing is for your benefit...whether it be the home being kept up, the animals and crops being tended to be consumed, or all in all just having that freedom to choose.

We are constantly visiting neighbors or being visited by them so we are not anti social but I have gotten a zero tolerance for the people in the city so those trips are only made when necessary. We did find a good Thai restaurant and sushi bar the other day though.

That's a very well written ad, good pictures, I like it. It is informative and I like it that you listed that it is a tested herd. I hope you get a good response.
