[Homesteadingfamily] Re: re-intro

Hi Lisa:I am in the NGA mountains..where are you located, if you don't
mind me asking? I have a reg mini Jersey bull as well as other Jerseys
here, which I milk for our dairy. I am just starting out with the minis,
though. Do you really want to sell a mini milker??? If so, will you send
me pictures of her? You can send them to my off list email...I don't
have a lot of money right now, but would be interested in her
possibly.... a lady kinda near us had one in the Market Bulletin a few
weeks ago, but it was NOT a mini at all...it was a mixed
Jersey/Tarentaise cross and...not at all like she advertised. I am not
interested in reg, either...if they are purebred.
You really have your hands full and yes, you can feel alone..your
partner in life is gone! Oh my, I am sad for you...and I will keep you
in my prayers. It is nice to have lots of family around, but that is not
the same as your spouse. And fencing is certainly NOT womans work! LOLOL
I know that well...I am the helper for my hubby in that area, too!
It is nice to know you are here in Georgia....I'd like to help you if I
can...~deb
