They had a car port out in the goat field. open sided. The other day it was all closed in and Ralph stopped to see what had happened. They had turned it in to a very neat Small bar for goats. One side had pens [4] and the other side was open with with milking stand and feed storage. Ralph took me to see it and we had a good visit with the people who have it. They got the car port at an Estate sale for $250.00.Fionahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05348495575211204989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-90478551210504866092014-03-22T16:43:47.918-04:002014-03-22T16:43:47.918-04:00Oh this must have been a sad experience for you.

We urgently need a barn but the place where we were going to build one has been seriously flooded for the last two years so we will have to make do with much smaller garage sized units. The infrastructure of a homestead / small farm takes a lot of money, as you and I are finding out!Verahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13235143664894609891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1743489061168063955.post-57824363867584156372014-03-22T13:26:11.364-04:002014-03-22T13:26:11.364-04:00Thank you Katherine.

I loved those animals, but it was just too much to care for them anymore. It was way better for us to let them go than it was for them.

Gabby gave me little goat kisses after she was loaded on the truck and I totally lost it.<br />We could take care of them, but we needed the money and we are down-sizing in anticipation of our move. It hurts. <br />You do what you have to do and carry on.Lambhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04083153173061255844noreply@blogger.com
