Longface....Magnificent old girl

[PendergrassRanch]

aww what a heartwarming story! I'd say she definitely earned a lovely retirement at home and not slaughter

Wow...got teared up reading your story and that photo with her and the four babies and her with the red X on her !!!! Yes, she has earned the right to live out her old age happily in my opinion.

I'm glad to hear from so many like-minded people.

Here's the old girl 'full frontal'.

With a face like that, who could consider her for slaughter?

we get attached to MANY, but we can't keep them all, I have alot of respect for you.
for keeping her as she has earn it. and true she will have other uses down the road
as care taker during weaning. Hubby isn't so bad either as he did let you keep her.

Aww, I needed this! I just sold three of my baby goats and this morning my hubby and I were talking about how old our old lady goat is (we don't know, she was an auction rescue) and how much we like having her. She's not a producer like your girl, but she's the queen bee and keeps the herd in order. I will be a mess if/when we lose her.

Thanks for loving your old girl and sharing how special she is with us. (more baby pics too please!)

Such a heartwarming story that it makes me want to cry. I'm so glad you decided to keep her. I would keep her until she dies of old age. What an amazing girl.

I just love sheep. They add so much to life, don't they!?
