I have been for the last 2 weeks taking care of our ranch and dealing with our farm loan plus taking care of our neighbors ranch. They went on their first vacation in 25 years. they have never felt comfortable leaving their place and having someone watch it. So I felt honored when they asked if I could take care of their 75 goats, 3 horse, 75 chickens, ducks, peacocks and geese plus their poodles and border collies and make sure everything was ok with the house. So they could go and spend time with their sons family in oregon. They have no time space planned for their return other then caroleen has to be back by the 15th of aug to get ready for school to start lol. So I have no idea when they are coming back. Between all their animals and our goats, potbelly pigs, horse, donkey, chickens ducks, geese, dogs and parrot. Plus I need to build an addition onto our coop. plus get the house ready for the appraisal. omg I need a clone!
Needless to say with marcia having a broken leg I have been busy as a beaver. Well this last week we lost 3 goats unexpectedly. Caroleens goats have developed soremouth! and she lost a baby goat yesterday. Turns out the wormer we all bought was (same brand same place at the same time) wasnt any good. Our other neighbor has lost some of his as well. So I have 4 goats in isolation and having to care for them several times a day. Plus drive the mile back and forth several times a day from my place to hers. I have to worm and treat 3 times a week her and my herds. All alone because non of the other neighbors are willing to take time to help and marcia wrangling a goat on crutches well thats a you tube moment! LOL oh plus her goats are stupid! They keep sticking their heads threw the cattle panels and getting their heads stuck! Yesterday ad 5 of them stuck! its like that every day! and yup its the same goats!
I am getting between this group and my boer goat group well over 200-300 emails a day. I just cant keep up right now.
SO I am stoping the messages from being delivered to my phone and email. I will try to get on the computer to check the site. Once everything settles down I will be back I am sure. I am keeping my chickens 4 fun group emails coming. Not as many in that group. So anyone that has that group can get me that way.
Hope everyone is doing well and has a great weekend.
