I had a total of 9 kids. The mommas ended up getting better.

So their eyes cleared up, but turns out one of them has coccidiosis pretty bad. She walks on her front knees, vet said it's due to thiamine being affected by such a heavy load of coccidia. He gave me thiamine injections to give the kid. He said I need to do it IM. Which I've only done once and...

Alrighty, I'll do that

Thank you, sometimes I feel like I forget to just stop and take a breather. I'm on year 4 of homesteading.

Do you ever just feel like giving up after all the work you've put into your homestead? I've been having one of the hardest 3 weeks with my homestead. Today I finally just broke down and cried.😔 I've put so much time, money, energy, effort and love into what I do. But at times I feel like just...
