Is someone able to help these people?
« on: January 03, 2016, 05:14:14 pm »
Hi guys.
I am not sure where to put this, but I thought I would share it with you all, as we're all smallholders. I found this on preloved, could you take a look and maybe a few of us could do something?

the most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss and have found their way out of the depths. These persons have an appreciation, a sensitivity and an understanding of life that fills them with compassion, gentleness, loving concern.

With those demands they have more chance of plaiting fog.

Don't wrestle with pigs, they will love it and you will just get all muddy.

Let go of who you are and become who you are meant to be.

Perhaps someone near by could offer to take some of them. Lots of desperate people who need to rehome their much loved stock make requirements that are unlikely to be appealing to new owners but eventually realise that a good home for some is better than no home for any. Perhaps the local community could foster some for him? they look well cared for and much loved.

I can understand the owner wanting them to be kept together but to want them all gone to the same person in a week is expecting a lot. It's possible, though, that the person just wants to get the parting over and done with asap. I think I would be the same.

If it was possible I would suggest they let the biggest problems go and see if they could keep the some, it would be too much to go from all to nothing  :(
For instance pigs and some of the ducks, maybe geese, need more attention and don't help with condition of land.

I messaged the seller and suggested that they consider that PHB. I also suggested that they advertise on here. Fingers crossed for them. Good job I dont live in Wales as I could have been so tempted by the geese, ducks and goats. I do hope someone can help.
