One of our little lambs passed away yesterday. It's unfortunate, especially in community. People want you to do everything you can, and as a farmer I know when I can and when I can't. Trying to get that across to everyone is hard. I try not to Monday morning quarterback myself, because I can't save every animal that gets sick. It's just another lesson for me and my toolbox. Lambs can go downhill fast, and this little guy didn't get a good start.
It's a balance for me to show that I care about the situation, but also that this is part of the the life of farming. It's a lesson of letting go for all of us.
