HEARTBREAK on the HOMESTEAD: Life and Death on the Farm

A week has passed almost...and still the pain is very raw...

Although I made a video for our YouTube channel about what happened (because people were worried I hadn't posted my daily vlog in several days) I haven't had much interaction yet here on Steemit as I am new to this community. In fact, I had never even done a post about my awesome goat herd here at all. I feel bad that my first post about them is the worst thing I have ever felt as a farmer.

We lost our sweet Spice unexpectedly after a very brief, mild sickness. We had no clue she would be gone by morning. Every sign showed improvement from a very short lived bought of diarrhea. This was our first goat loss on the farm. She was here one day and gone the next. The above picture was the day I took her home at two weeks old. She would have been a year old in five days. I miss her terribly!

While I am trying to be strong and keep my chin up and all that, I am still very depressed. It has been a hard week. We also lost our oldest, sweetest, favorite chicken Penny a few days after Spice. I can't bring myself to share all the details again so if you want to know the whole story I will leave my video below.

Thanks for listening to this very sad goat momma...
