Hope my kid grows up to be as considerate / loving as you are. Good boy!

What a wonderful party for your mother. I am sure she enjoyed it more than you telling everyone she is 50.

Well after a lot of thought this is not an easy thing for me but we have decided to sell all the goats after the fair. I have been thinking about it for a little while now and have told the kids. I am 26 single, with no kids and I am ready to start living my life for myself instead of focusing on my nieces full time. We will continue to get them each one wether every year to show and sell at the fair but that is it for now. I am sad because I finally built the herd I wanted. But I just do not have the time to focus on them. I would like to travel a little and get a place of my own and by having all the goats that's makeing it really hard. We also have no power since friday and won't have it back will wednesday. Its just getting really hard and I guess its time to move on for now. Once I get established and start having a family I plan to start over with goats. One of my goat neighbors might buy a few of them but other then that I am hoping to sell to some 4-H families so that maybe they will get good homes and still be shown. This sure has been a fun past couple of years.

Hey its better to regret somthing you have done than regret somthing you haven't done and the good thing is you sound like your mind is made up very clear.
Its a long time ago (very long) and I was a little bit younger than you are but I walked away from farming, backpacked around Africa and Europe and worked in the City for 27 years. Then went full circle back to small scale farming - guess what - No regrets.
Go see the world, fall in love then multiply

I really hope this helps you feel free, Rog.
You're still gonna come to Herdstock, though, right???

Thanks everyone it is going to be really hard but right now if it goes as planned 3 of my favorite will just be right down the road from me so I can still visit and check up on them. We will still get a few wethers each year so that will help me get my goat fix. I do still plan on coming to herdstock you are all such good friends I can not wait to meet you all in person. It will be a sad day when they all leave and I have an empty barn but I know its what I need to do right now for myself.
