No matter rain or sleet, or snow or ice, sick or injured, holidays, weekends, no matter what, chores still need done.
Sometimes when people think about wanting to raise all these things they go straight to the money aspect. Is it expensive? Yes, I can't sugar coat that. Hay and straw alone are high, but those aren't the only things we need.
But think about every single day out of the year that it is hot, christmas, you were sick, cold, 4th of July, a birthday. Every single day the animals need taken care of by us or someone else. We haven't traveled much recently, due to various reasons, but it was never because we didn't have a farm sitter. I think that is one of the most important things to have when getting into livestock. Someone that can be there when you are not because the animals can not wait. They need care EVERY SINGLE DAY.
