Hi. When you are ready, give me a shout. I used to have dairy goats, plus Nigerians, and have a little bit of experience with meat goats. Guinea Hogs too.I have missed you all. Haven’t been online much because my two small kids take much of my free time and recently they have renounced naps (mostly). I’m an introvert, designed for sheltering in place. As long as I have my family, animals, and garden, i’m content. I dearly miss church and visiting my parents. The news is distressing. For a while, my hospital (behavioral health) was threatening to “redeploy us to areas of need” and “to discipline us if we refused.” I worked in med-surg for 4 years, but it was a miserable experience at its best, and I’m years out of practice. Anyway the threat seems to have dissipated for the moment. I ordered some chicks for June so we have something fun to look forward to. Seriously contemplating getting some goats—not sure what breed. Should get meat goats for practical reasons, but I like the looks of Nigerian dwarfs (milk goats). Perhaps I’ll just make them pets. Probably I’m too much of a wuss to eat them anyway. My SIL breeds guinea hogs—seriously contemplating them too. At any rate, projects are good. The news is bad. I hope all of you are well and staying safe.
I'm doing my best to avoid the news as well and focus on what needs doing around my little farm.
