Tis the season to start racking your brain on what to get those hard to shop for sheep and goat friends and family members. Let’s face it, we all could use a piece of equipment, someone to pay our feed bill, or in my case, a new truck! But, as much as I love those around me, none of those are very feasible, or quite frankly, fun! Don’t get me wrong, practical gifts are great, but nothing says, “You’re important to me!” like when your husband buys you a new vacuum cleaner for Christmas….
As a farmer and mom of kids, I try to make every dollar stretch to its limit. Constantly keeping up with what the four and two legged people around me need is a lot of work. So much so, that I don’t often think about what I need, and if I do, I just dismiss it to worry about more pressing things. Know someone like that? If you do, we may have the perfect gift for him or her.
First gift options are Kentucky Sheep and Goat Development Office and Kentucky Sheep and Fiber Gift Cards! I love gift cards! Nothing like getting stuff I want, that I choose, using someone else’s money, right! The Kentucky Sheep and Goat Development Office and Kentucky Sheep and Fiber offer gift cards for people to use on lots of great gift ideas.
