After just a few years in poultry, I’d gotten pretty good at
numbing myself to losing birds. It
happens. We’ve lost chicks, chickens,
guineas, and a turkey. It happens. It’s
a monetary hit, but since 2008, I don’t think there has been anything in our
lives that hasn’t been a monetary hit, so I’m kind of numb to that too…
I just wonder how long it’s going to take me to get used to
it when we have larger livestock. With
fur. Goats, cows, God forbid a
horse. Don’t know if I could ever deal
with losing a horse. It’s not so much
the butchering that will bother me, it’s more the random illness, or predation,
and the sense of not being able to control if something bad happens to my
animals.
