I know it was tough letting go of Abigail and the two boy kids. Then, selling the miniature donkeys. I had heard that hay is so expensive people are having trouble feeding their horses, and some are being let loose to fend for themselves, which is so awful. I'm glad they all went to nice homes, and that you can visit if you want to.A Colorful Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06890388727784255219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669916210062186897.post-81401448850582694562012-05-01T20:07:29.951-07:002012-05-01T20:07:29.951-07:00That is so sad about losing your little doeling. :...That is so sad about losing your little doeling. :( Glad you saved the one boy though.

It sounds like they have all gone to great homes, so that should be some consolation. Did you try tying Abigail to a milking stand? I am working with my skittish girl, too. It's a loooong process and sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. We were lucky - hay-wise - here last year, and I'm hoping that this year is okay, too. With this wild weather you never know.

I finally ...So sorry you lost your little doe kid. I finally found some hay here for %15.95 for alfalfa, most of it is still $18.95. Problem with the cheaper hay was it was baled wet, hard to separate the flakes and it smells bad, not moldy but just bad smell, thank goodness I have grass up to the bellies on the Dorpers and the cows, only ones I have to feed are the Shetlands and the goats. I would not be feeding the goats except they jump the fences, eat the trees, yada, yada, yada, they are goats. Need to do some serious downsizing here soon, grass has a lot of foxtails so want as much eaten down as fast as possible.Tombstone Livestockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07022776395762826903noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7669916210062186897.post-59524498853422288112012-05-01T10:49:22.432-07:002012-05-01T10:49:22.432-07:00I'm sorry you've had such a rough week.
