I told Sister I was just going to try to sell them outright and get someone to come get them. She posted online around noon or so, and before 3 pm she had them all sold. The buy came, loaded them all up, paid cash and we did not have to do anything except get them in the pen before he got here.
Helen thought I would miss them, but I don't think so. Since I could not take care of them by myself, they were sometimes just another worry. I hate asking for help. l
She said the buyer said they were the prettiest goats he had ever owned. George would have been proud. Sometimes, I do fell a little melancholy that George did not live to enjoy Earnhardt and his offspring.
Anyway, all is well now.
This is the whole herd, except for Earnhardt, in July. And Daisy, the pup.
This is some of the herd just before we rounded them up for sale. They are pretty. We sold 25, including the 2 red babies born a couple of weeks ago. I am pleased with it all, and thankful to Sister for her help. I am not much of a salesman.

So proud of you and also happy you had Helen’s help....yeah. Now you won’t have this worry this winter!
I agree Winnie. They were work. Now Sister has pocket money. I am praying for a new phone. Hers is a piece of no goodness. Won’t type what I was thinking.
I had misgivings about getting rid of my last cows, but after a couple of months I was glad. The fence on this old place isn’t good, and Cliff and I are getting too old to chase cows.
