It's been a couple weeks since we were at the farm but the last weekend we were there was filled with rain and sadness.
On one hand, the goats and sheep were on their way to greener pastures -- literally. We never intended to keep all the animals but it was still sad to see them go. As weekend farmers, caring for a family of goats, a sheep named Ella, 50 some odd chickens, a dozen geese and a duck named Charlie would have been too much to handle.
Ironically, I was finally able to get Sara into the enclosure and she actually took a liking to one of the goats named Zelda. Perhaps a little cashmere goat may enter the picture come springtime. At the moment however, all three goats and the sheep made their way into a trailer and headed down the road to a larger farm where they'll reside until the original owners find a new farm. The geese i'm told are on their way to a sanctuary in North Carolina.
