We sold my cow.
In some ways I am sad but I think it's a good thing. My husband is gone so much that most of the care of our place falls to me & the kids. Irrigating, moving fences, pasture management, mucking out, milking & the list goes on. It just got to be too much. I loved my cow but she was a lot of work. And with a new baby, a toddler, & 2 older kids at home, homeschooling, traveling every week for Bible study, & just the normal everyday running of the household; it got to be too much. I wasn't enjoying her anymore. We also had a real need for the money she brought. We've had some big bills we needed to cover & she helped with that.
So we are cowless. But we still have our goats so we still 'Got milk.' And I have to say it is SOOOO much easier to milk a goat. They don't poop on you or potty on you or smack in the face with their tails. What's not to love?
Blessings.
Glad to see you were able to earn some extra $$ from the cow! I agree, the goats are easier to care for. ;)
