Good for you,Lil!

My son-in-law and daughter do everything on the farm as well. Matt is often elbow deep in the business end of an animal, helping the new ones arrive. lol The kids are learning so much as well. They do the vaccines, testing for this and that, the whole nine yards. You sure do learn to solve a lot of problems when you’re a farmer.

Honestly, it’s been so good for the kids, it would be ideal if every kid could be raised on a farm.

I wish my boys loved it like I do. One is a computer geek and the other is an avid outdoorsman and hunter. He is the one who fills in when needed though.

It is a great hobby for me, I have dairy goats and I make soap and cheese. I do it mostly to give away, but could earn some money if I wanted to. It’s just a hobby farm. The hardest for me has been deliveries. I am plagued with every one of my does having major problems, but I haven’t lost one yet, thankfully.

Sorry to get the thread off topic!
