[TheForge] anvil repair

[Jerry Frost]

Sorry to hear you lost Pearl Andy, sucks when you lose an animal but 
it's something you have to live with. I know that doesn't help, these 
things hurt. You don't get used to it but you harden up some. still. . .

We lost Patsy a few weeks ago, a sweet little lamb who just didn't grow. 
I fed her  one morning and all seemed well, she was up and okay that 
afternoon too but that evening she was down and gone. Deb might, 
probably would've spotted a problem I certainly didn't. Rigor often 
doesn't set for 12 hours sometimes. Their digestive systems are pretty 
complicated and fermentation is part of the process that doesn't stop 
for a while after death so gas movement will make them move for a while.

It's a bummer and few farm animals have the personalities of goats, 
they're really easy to get attached to.
