People always indicate it must be so much to feed all our animals and our response is always that the day to day chores are easy (~15 min per day) what is hard is caring for animals when they get sick (and keeping up with structures, fences and pastures but that’s another topic)… the diagnosing, hours spent on the phone or google trying to problem solve, gathering of supplies, monitoring, and administration of medication, fluids, food etc is what is difficult. Not to mention the stress and anxiety around if what you are doing is right and how things will turn out. From staying up all night to syringe feed a baby goat, to spending hours upon hours in the barn tube feeding calves, to learning about how to treat sick llamas, that is the commitment you make when you have animals. The day to day chores can easily fit into your life, it’s the unexpected and unpredictable that is hard. Even harder when all your efforts sometimes are not enough to save a life. Two weeks ago we spent many sleepless hours fighting for a baby goat and this week we are fighting to help our sick llama. So thankful to everyone that helps give us information, a lending hand, supplies, equipment needed, and support! It’s take a village and we are so grateful to have an amazing neighbor and friends we can call on when needed.
