and this….

after all the "work"  with trying to "get better"  at Goat stuff,  I look at this and realize that i am no better at all.  If this buck kid had been born here,  i would be deluding self with ways i might find someone who would want him as a potential herd sire,  i would be putting off castrating him,  wethering,  what a nice word for castration, but still and yes,  putting off castrating him until it would be a mute point and i would have yet one more BUCK Goat here and there's NO ROOM.

another case of Stand,  and Face what you know

    from yesterday. . .Bucklings have no Use. But i sit and look at this and i can barely stand it. This little strong and fierce life form.
    quoting you. and from an animal standpoint. . .dogs and cats. . .yes it is responsible to neuter them. . .to stop endless litters that might never find homes. But these words “have no use”. . .are wrenching. and if that is how goat breeders/keepers think about them. . .wanting only the does who will give milk. . .I feel this need to inject kindness. . .compassion for the way animals are used. . .the way bucks are used rather than appreciated. . .do you know what I mean? it is what vibrates between the lines when you talk about the goat person.

    i’m here too and I wish I could have that beautiful goat…but truth is I don’t even have cats or dogs any more and the last time I saved a dove was when I called the wild bird rescue to come get a wounded one off the street…I face what I know to be my limitations too. And I think if you and your great heart with love.

    this is the story of our lives until we are asked to stand and face what we don’t know.
