Tragedy

Sorry I would've posted this post a couple days earlier but our computer at home isn't working. So right now I am using my laptop at EMU. Well, I have some bad news.......On Wednesday of this week we lost 3 goats. Our nanny goat Taffi went into labor and after a couple hours of nothing happening dad decided he needed to help her out. When he started to help out he found out that the first baby goat was in the worst position ever to get out and there was a rare possibility it was going to live. So after trying so hard and Taffi in so bad of pain we decided to let her go (kill her). I was sad but happy to know she was no longer in pain. Taffi could've given birth to two beautiful nannies, but sometimes things don't work out the way we want them to. This is the first time we have ever had to kill one of our animals, it was hard for all of us but we knew it was the right thing to do. We had been spoiled with every pregnancy going well so far on the farm, but like I said before somtimes things don't turn out the way we want them to.

It has been a good week otherwise. My grandparents from Indiana are here, so it has been fun to spend time with them. School is coming to an end, which is very exciting.
Take Care,
