From Town to Country: A Wife's Tale

• Thursday, April 10, 2008 - Its Here,

Posted in Animals

The rain/sleet/snow is here .    What's worse is the wind... sounds like a true winter blizzard.  I just hope it ends soon.. they are saying Saturday am UGH!

Anyway, we have a goat down at the farm today.  Not sure what's causing the problem but she is unable to get up and walk.  Its like her backend refuses to work.  She just drags her back end behind her and she crawls on her knees.  She is eating and can see.  No broken bones that I can tell.  Temp 103.0.

We separated her from the herd in a pen.  I'm not sure she's going to make it.  I just wish I knew what was wrong.  I feel a bit helpless at the moment.  Anyone have advise or info for me?

About Me

We've been working on the family farm for 3 years trying to get it back to a working farm. The farm was neglected for 15+ years before we took it on. The summer of 2008 is our family's first experience living in the country, so began our journey from town to country...
