So, damned if I do or don't!
I might as well LOVE what I am doing otherwise it would just be sadistic to stay in this life of farm/dairy.
My husband says that farmers are the most optimistic people on the face of the earth - they have to be or else there would be nothing But hospitilized depression patients who were former farmers.
We are also like a bunch of addicts - you can never wait to get that next goat or buy that next seed!!
That brings me to today- I have decided to downsize my goat operation and help finance our move back out there - so today I sold Five goats! Then ended up with Another goat that I brought back home.Are you starting to see the whole one step forward and two steps back thing??
Well, thought it would be best to put her into the milking shed with my other girls I am milking just for her to settle in before I turn her out since she is only bred and not milking. Well, my girls decided that they were Not going to play nice and the next thing I know one of my milkers- Jupiter- is in front of the house. I go out to see what happened and the corner of the shed had been knocked out. I like to call my goats , instead of a herd or group, a Coven cause they are all a bunch of witches. Give her a couple of days and she will be teaming up with them against anyone new coming in. grrrrr goats.

Support Local Food Source and Your Health
Yep, that is the thanks a farmer/dairyman gets alright. We are a society conditioned so much to the cheapest and least that we can't even accept the explantion of the "why" of the price factor we just shoot the people down as trying to get as much as they can. And then justify the shooting because you just can't afford to pay that much for food.
Ok, so thanks America for sending everyone straight to hell in a handbasket. Thanks for shoving low quality foods at us at low cost and prescriptions to make up for the ill effects of those products in our lives.
We are Killing a tradition, life and source all at one Whack! The Local Farmer/Dairyman.
Growing food Is expensive. You do have to have the right "stuff" down in the ground to make things grow and thrive. It does take more than time and a little effort to get plants up and going and producing. It is expensive to take care of animals.
BUT - that is WHY the local farmer/dairyman is the place to go to First. Because we ARE the only caretakers of our products and it IS the (for Dooley Family Farm) The Only source of income we have. So you do really think, that local farmers/dairymen Want to spend ALL that TIME, MONEY, SWEAT and PAIN to give you an inferior product? No, and the price that it comes down to is Not to cover the time, sweat and pain- but to cover expense and upkeep and being able to make something to pay those bills so that we are able to Keep bringing you fresh, clean, healthy products.
