We lost Fairy in Spring of 2024 after a particularly difficult battle with hypocalcemia and a subsequent month of supportive care with many hopeful ups and gut wrenching downs.

I don’t think I will ever be able to fully articulate the depths of my grief. I remember a moment sitting in her stall with her laying next to me, head in my lap, petting her softly and telling her…I am not ready to lose another Olly daughter, a second year in a row, so please keep fighting with me.

I lost Que Sera Sera in 2023. This isn’t a troublesome set of does, by any means. Metabolically or physically, they are not prone to kidding complications in any fashion. I moved to a property with extremely challenging issues and the learning curve has been steep and our losses have been random with these two half sisters being chance. These gentle and amazing friends of mine have been some of my hard lessons in the worst and most unfair ways. My guilt hurts on a level I know so many of you can feel in those places that just flood heaves of tears like involuntary reminders of every mistake we as stewards have ever made. If I had just known, if I had just seen…

It has taken me months to add this update to Fairy’s pages. The first platform I had to update was actually my DHI records. I had no milk weight, no sample for her. And I needed to include why. I was resolved, and surprised at my own ability to complete the information - code, date - without breaking down into emotions. No nonsense. Just data. But when my blank sheets for my next test came back and she was still on there as active…that’s when I broke down. I was actually so hurt I was angry. I had spent all my self control the first round. I could not possibly spare more to do it again. I had someone else fill it in for me the second time. Clearly I was not ready to update the website which is so very very final in my mind.

Weeks and weeks go by, it’s time to get my currently owned list in for appraisal for a late 2024 session. I’ll need to repeat the process. I can’t put it off any longer, she won’t be here to present and there’s no way around it.

And now the website.

To my fellow breeders…If you could see how I Just threw my hands over my face after typing that ending line. This is why…isn’t it? Why we get so offended when folks waist our time. When folks insult us or ghost us over prices. When folks insinuate in any way we aren’t worth what we are asking for our time, our heart and soul, our work. For our heartache. I see you.
