..go on messing with cows after a great loss? I know several of you on here have lost spouses or kids. Right now I can't envision spending the summer cutting hay, putting up polywire, getting cattle in the chute...seems overwhelming (3 wks from loss of our only child). We are keeping up with the feeding but I am wondering where we will find the (whatever) to do all this heavy labor. After watching hubby maneuver tractor over an icy hill to feed today, I am also feeling a bit more risk-averse.
Do those of you have have been down this road find that the cows are a comfort? Or not a comfort, exactly, but something to keep your mind/hands busy? How long did it take you to feel like they might be worth keeping?
