You don't need sheep.

Once you get sheep you won't see a need for goats.

 

[NH Homesteader]

Nope. I really really love goat cheese. There is an eternal need for goats!

 

[tortoise]

I've milked a sheep. How 'bout sheep cheese?

 

[tortoise]

Sheep are really hard to milk! They're not shaped right for it!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

You don't need sheep! You don't need sheep! (unless you decide you do, lol)

 

[NH Homesteader]

I think my DH wants the sheep...

 

[baymule]

YOU don't need sheep. But DH might want the sheep. But doesn't he work at a ski resort or something during the winter, and doesn't he work some terrible long hours? And doesn't the responsibilities of the animals fall on you, because he's gone? And you are pregnant and don't need to lug buckets of water out to animals........ Aren't you supposed to be taking it REAL easy because you are high risk?

Bottom line. Do you and DH want sheep or do you and DH want a baby?

 

[NH Homesteader]

No I'm not high risk. Everyone gets a 25 lb weight limit.

Oh, and DH will not be working at the skiway this year and he said he fully intends to do all the watering portion of the chores at minimum (I like feeding everyone, and he can never remember what the heck to feed my goats so he waters and I feed). He is going to be working decent (normal) hours this year, woohoo!

 

[baymule]

Well that is good news! Both that you are not high risk and that your DH will not be working such crazy hours like he did last year. I'll still play devil's advocate.....YOU DON'T NEED SHEEP.
