Maybe should find out if they are doing ok... but maybe not.
this is why I'd rather they went for curry. They have a nice life and then it's over. No concerns about safety or how they're going to be treated, or passed from pillar to post, for the rest of their potentially long lives. My two wether kids went last week, at 9 months. It was sad, of course but I think it's ok.
Well it made more financial sense to re-coup the disbudding costs (for one of them) and the vet costs for an upset tummy etc for the other... I had checked the place they went to, so where I do not keep pet goats these people were.
But I do miss goat curry - it really is one of the best meats ever. So this year we will eat ours again! (and I am sure they will be some...)
But there is also the worry about the famles you sell to others - again you cannot keep them all (or so my OH tells me
), but again I feel you have to learn to dissociate yourself from them somewhat... very difficult though.
