GOATS MAKE ME LAUGH
We spent Thanks Giving near Salem Oregon on a small farm. The accommodations were large enough for a large family so we had plenty of room.
The space was the entire loft of the barn. It was fun watching the birds learn to fly around such a large space. In fact they were intimidated for the first day but they soon enjoyed the top of the curtains.
We were only a few miles from McMinnville Oregon so groceries and restaurants were close by. The chicken, cows, horses, sheep, two yacks a donkey and two hilarious goats.
The family invited us for dinner with their five children. The meal was great and the pies were awesome.
The farm is a money pit even though they sell whole unpasteurized milk products. The husband is a tech guy with what I assume a good income. At best between the rental and minimal milk sales they break even.
The young couple love their work of which there is plenty. Up early moving stock, cleaning stalls, milking cows and feeding live stock brought back memories. We will return in the spring to see new pigs sheep and baby goats. I want to milk a yack just to say I did.
