Still have these two GP available! Comment if you’re interested and please share! They can leave together or separate. Both are great with all livestock.

I just want to say thank you to everyone that has followed my journey with my goats. It’s been one heck of a ride. A lot of heartbreak but I never gave up on them. A new chapter in my life is beginning and this one is put on pause. I will have goats again in a few years and hopefully from the same ones that started my addiction. Out of all of the goats I’ve had, no one was like Rosie. She is and will always be my favorite girl. She always stayed right beside of me even if everyone else was in another pasture. It’s amazing the bond you can share with animals and just how amazing they are. Thank you for being in my life for 3 years and allowing me to love you. I hope you love your new owner just as much as you did with me. It broke my heart seeing and hearing you leave. Love you always, Rosie Posie 💖

Buy one get one free - need gone
If you buy the female for $300 you can have the male for free. I want them to go together.

Alright so here’s round 2
We are selling out of everything. Goats, cows and dogs. I’m posting the unregistered goats in Carolina auction page which includes a Toggenburg doe and a white/cream Nubian doeling. Stormie, Lily and Dotty are on hold.
Comet is $400 (buck)
Rosie is $400
Zoey is $400
Brinley (registered toggenburg is $300)
Ginger is $200 (pet only)
Lucy is $300
Willow (female Great Pyrenees) potionally pregnant. Was bred a few weeks ago. $500
I have a purebred brown Swiss cow, she will be a year old in October and a miniature black angus. She’s very small, would make a good pet.
I believe that’s all.

Toggs are a very interesting breed. Myrtle is the wanna be herd queen and I think she’s succeded. 😄

We’ve decided we are just going to sale one of our does who is already claimed. We currently have 5 does that will be bred this year. The only buck we have remaining is Comet which is the buck that produced all the babies this year with spots so that’s always nice but it still saddens me that we don’t have the amazing bloodlines we did have. Thank you to everyone that sent us messages wanting to buy does/doelings. If anything changes I will update you all but for now I just can’t get rid of them all. It’s my life.

On the bright side of today, Brinley thought the hay looked good to lay in 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve been thinking a lot this morning and I may end up selling out of goats. I’ve just had too much heartbreak and may be losing another buck when I’ve been trying my absolutely best to keep him alive and nothing working. There may be something in my pasture that’s killing them. I’ve dealt with meningeal worm before and I’m wondering if it’s not that. I may just keep a few and sale the rest. I haven’t decided yet but if you’re interested in anyone just comment. I haven’t decided yet who I would keep if I kept a few but I know Dotty and Lucy would have to be sold together and Rosie and Lily. They’re too attached and I won’t break their hearts. I won’t be selling them at this moment but it may be before college starts. I am going to college for veterinarian technician for 2 years. I’m an hour away from the college so most of my day will be spent at school and then studying. It just may be for the best to sale them and try again one day when I have my own land because this place seems cursed. All of my does are in a seperate pasture, it’s more of a dry lot currently until the grass grows back. I just don’t want to take a chance of them getting what has killed one of my bucks and now may be killing another. Again I haven’t made up my mind yet if I will do this because I know it’s going to break my heart.

This speaks so powerful to me right now. We lost a sweet sweet goat tonight. His fight ended, he is no longer suffering on this earth. We are not sure what exactly was wrong but I did everything I could to save him and it just wasn’t enough. I gave wormers to him 12 hours apart, coccidia medicine, diarrhea medicine for a week, vitamin b complex all week, injectable iron for two days (can’t overdose), literally everything that I have because he was anemic and more than likely had a worm overload. I sent fecals off a week ago and they got destroyed during the shipping process. My luck is horrible. People don’t realize how hard it is to raise animals when you’ve done everything in your power you know to do and it’s still not enough to save their life. I called the vet and he just said the only thing they can do is a blood transfusion. That costs $600, doesn’t include the emergency farm call, other meds, etc. Plus they couldn’t even come out today, he said they wouldn’t be able to until tomorrow. He started going downhill yesterday and I knew in my gut that it didn’t look bright. I made him a goat down recipe and he loved it and drunk it all up as well as electrolytes. Tonight, he didn’t want any. It’s so sad when you see how much fight a living animal has and then it’s gone in a blink of an eye. You feel helpless and heartbroken. I’ve experienced so much death this year. Do I even deserve animals anymore? I’ve witnessed only two animals die in my lifetime and they have both been this year and it’s the most brutal and painful thing. It’s depressing and tragic. I’ve cried my eyes out wondering why does this have to happen to me. Why can’t I have better luck. Why does everyone else I see have such better luck than me. Watching them take their last breath and holding their head up so they don’t sprawl out everywhere. Knowing that it’s killing you inside to watch but knowing you have to be there because they have no one else to comfort them. They can’t communicate but I hope to god they can at least feel our presence and know they are not alone and they are loved. I don’t know why and how I can still raise animals after all the heartbreak I’ve dealt with the past 5 years I’ve raised them. I love them but it’s so upsetting when there’s nothing you can do anymore. Powerless.
We bottlefed him since he was a baby. He was our baby. Don’t you dare tell me they’re just livestock.

New comic this week~ 💀
