A hardened farm girl.......

Losing animals on the farm is a part of life....Because I know this is going to happen, doesn't not however make it any easier to experience.  Going to the barn and finding 3 dead kids was heartbreaking.  Having to deal with their lifeless bodies even more so.  These times call for introspection and deep thoughts.  There is always a bit of doubt when death occurs, even thought you know its not your fault.  Questions like, am I doing the right thing?  Am I really cut out for this life?  Even thought I know the answer is indubitably YES!  Farming isn't easy, and its far from glamorous....and even though we have experienced a loss.....hopefully we will be blessed with a healthy set of kids from the next goat to give birth....
I think experiencing this with calmness and reflection has helped me to see that....I am human, and can experience loss and still go on with a positive attitude...
Be strong in all you do....take a minute to reflect and then move forward....always with positivity in your mind....
There is a reason that all things happen......

Enjoy this lovely spring day...and thanks for hanging in there with me....Exciting things are happening....For me and my husband, and our farm....

the friendly female farmer....
