I find myself these days going to great lengths to avoid having to explain, but then sometimes that ends up making me look irresponsible or like a bad business owner. I'd like to just be able to give a minimum amount of information and have the other person say "oh, ok" and then we move on. Because I'm really sick of talking about it to strangers. I don't have time to get into the details of how horrible this is beyond their ability to imagine, and they don't really want to know anyway, so let's dispense with all the chitchat about it and move on. sigh.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13058015555169862744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509713365165081489.post-81685131592507078242012-04-30T10:49:09.840-07:002012-04-30T10:49:09.840-07:00what a sweet sweet story!!I am so sorry for your l...what a sweet sweet story!!I am so sorry for your loss!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02329566601461112910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1509713365165081489.post-64726591541473077572012-02-03T05:05:34.881-08:002012-02-03T05:05:34.881-08:00Glad to hear you've been off having fun.

Made a big difference. <br />That being said, I love your post, Shan. You really are more connected with the earth than so many folks out there who claim to be. I think it is taken for granted how much the farming community respects the land they live on, even if in different ways. They want it to suffer less than anyone, as their livelihood comes from it in such a direct manner. Our grass is looking great out here...we just bought our last load of hay until fall.

I love home raised beef and can't wait until the steer in the pen are ready for consumption. <br /><br />I think it is really awesome that you are being able to generate income for your farm thru farm raised beef.
