@Former-Member yeah, our guys got weaned a few weeks ago. The farm we're going to has mini donkeys, so she knows how noisy weaning is. Trust me, a donkey crying outside your bedroom window is worse than bawling cattle...
@Former-Member Killara is a cow. She's a Limousin heifer (bubby girl).

I'm just catching up with the forum before going to bed ...
I dont know how you do it @Crazy_Bug_Lady to get so much work done ... and a lot of it is very physical so you must be pretty fit.

That's the thing @Appleblossom
That's part of what got me here... I am completely exhausted. Work Monday to Friday, plus Sundays at the farm. And I am working this weekend. So tomorrow I'm up at 6am to go to work for 2 hours, then up to the farm.
I don't know how long I can keep doing this.

Sometimes maybe its about getting runs on the board and hanging on to your heifer ... and figuring out what your priorities actually are ... and gradually you might be able to negotiate a less hectic lifestyle ???
Working ethic is great but not when it turns to burn out.

I know I know.
I just hate that I can't do things like others do.
I'm debating seeing if my psychiatrist can see me sooner. I have an appointment next Tuesday, but I dunno if I should try and deal with this sooner...

we only see the fronts that others put out ... why put yourself down or compare ... the job and school system often sets up in competitiveness that is counter productive ... its only good when it is good but not all the time.
Have you seen the Robert Sapolski vids or books ... he's a primatologist who describes us, as a mix between a pair bonding and tournament species
