Tasty Acres Homestead (From 2020 jump to 2023)

That is terrible news and the last thing I expected to read when I opened this one.

I never thought I would be writing this. It is really sad

May be a blessing in disguise as now you'll be able to start fresh when the time comes with the new breed you've been saying you wanted; Kikos.

So sorry to hear but as the others have said it may be a blessing in disguise. You can take the money from them and put it towards your new goats when you're ready.

So sorry to hear...
What about calling your livestock vet (or any livestock vet where the goats are now) and asking if they know anyone who might be able to board them until you can arrange for them to be moved up there? Since it looks like you were planning to move them in a couple months, it might not be hard to find someone short term. Good luck!

With us being in Alaska and the lady that is watching them being in TX it makes it really hard. Her ex husband doesn't want to care for them anymore. We know several people up here that could watch them but the big issue is we don't 2000-3000 dollars laying around to bring them up.

OK, I am officially very confused. I thought your goats were in Oregon.

TAH- Alaska
Goats- in Oregon with ex husband
Lady- in Texas, far away from ex husband

That's what I got from it?

I was leaning that direction but since she said the "lady that was watching them". I guess what we don't know (and it isn't our business) how long the couple has been split.

If it would cost $2K-$3K to get them from OR to AK, I think I would have to work really hard to justify doing it. I know, emotional attachment but that kind of money can buy more goats of good quality than they have room for.

Sorry I thought I posted earlier (having phone issues).... I am sorry that this is the way it looks like it's going. But sometimes we have to be forced to go a new direction that's better for us in the end (even though we don't appreciate it at the time!) I hope you are able to make a decision you can be at peace with.

Interesting enough all of us have total peace finding a new home for the goats even tho I will miss them. Latestarter and Sam you both are very right that now we will be able to start on the breed we want to do and Bruce your right it takes a lot to justify putting three thousand dollars just fo bring some goats up.

I am sure that it wouldn't be to hard but I think selling them is the right choice.
