Bittersweet Day

7/25/2009

0 Comments

 

The folks buying the cows drove down yesterday from north of Spokane and we loaded up the milk stanchion, cows and Oscar this morning.   I was surprised at how much weight Oscar has gained in the two weeks since he was born.  When he was first minutes old I easily picked him up and carried him, but I had to have help this morning and he still felt very heavy.

I know they are going to a good home, and Maggy will be happy they have a bull there for her.  But it was still hard to say good bye to them, especially Matilda who was my favorite from the moment I saw her.  

We can see the big pasture from the house and I am in the habit of glancing out the window to check on them several times a day.    Caught myself glancing out there more than once today.   Eventually the majority of the goat herd will move into that pasture I will be glancing out the window to check on them.  But for now its just an empty pasture with only memories.
