This is super hard for me to post ... so please bare with me .... for the last 6 months I have been fighting inside myself with what I wanted from my farm, where I wanted to be in a year, 3 years, 5 years. I needed a goal - not just stay even. 4 months ago my GM products took off here locally and on the Internet to where I couldnt keep up and actually became worried because I was not going to keep up with demand. Hubs and I always had an agreement that they had to support themselves - but he was always there to pick up the slack. I actually called a best friend while at the baton rouge show and told her I had finally decided where / how I wanted to go..... then the tornado hit. Was this GODs way of telling me to get off my hiney, dont be scared, and take the plunge? If so .... seriously it didnt need to be that drastic .... I heard ya - lol. Anyway - where I am going with this ramble ... is as tears fill my eyes .... I am going to sell a good portion of my ND herd. For my long term plans of supporting my farm, spreading the goodness of healthy living, and supporting my family - for me, the only ligical thing is to move to standard goats as the core of my operation as I work 40+ hpurs a week - an hour each way from home.... hubs works 12 hour shifts an hour away .... I am tired ... I spend most of my time in what was the barn and I can milk 1 standard in less time it takes me to milk 2-3 nigerians and let them finish rations. Nigerians will always be my first love and I will always have a few around .... but it is time to be realistic and now is the best time for me to put my foot forward, pull my big girl panties on, and jump in. Please dont be upset with me .... but stand by me as SLR takes this hardship thrown at us and turns it into an amaxing opportunity to grab our wings and fly to the next level of dairy goats. Again - we will never leave nigerian dwarfs - just going to cut back drastically. I will be posting some goats for sale. These will be hard for me as each one that remains as of today was hand selected and bred for our program. Bucks will not be available till after collection. Thank you for your love and support of us personally and SLR
