[QUOTE="alisonb, post: 1246926, member: 13050"] Sold my cows a month or so ago, not that there were many of them. We didn't have much rain last season so had to rely on irrigation for the fodder that I'd planted(electricity bill rocketed). The natural grazing just burnt up and had very little nutritional value. Had to buy in extra food to sustain them. What of the extra labor it entailed. This all before the winter had even started... Woke up one morning and decided 'that's it, the cows need to go', a financial decision. In previous years when the weather did not play along I battled it out, just could not go though it again. This will be the first time in twenty years that there will be no cows to greet me in the morning. I feel light, a burden has dropped off of my shoulders but then I glance over at the kraal...emptyness, soo empty! I'm sure many of you have had to do something similar, please share your experience with us. [/QUOTE]
