Jack (see attached image). \u00a0And don\u2019t believe the lie that sheep eat quietly and serenely in a pasture. \u00a0We got this one loud sheep that is so loud I can\u2019t hardly take it anymore. \u00a0I just wasted a thousand dollars on hay. \u00a0I bought the hay because the stuff looks really good. \u00a0Well, the cows won\u2019t eat it. \u00a0Everyday, I spend time trying to trick the cows into eating this hay. \u00a0I put it in different feeders. \u00a0I mix grain\/other hay into it. \u00a0I yell at the cows over and over to eat it. \u00a0These bales are huge round bales, so there\u2019s a real problem of what to do with this stuff. \u00a0If anyone wants some really cheap hay, now is the time to offer me a really cheap price. \u00a0And that\u2019s all there is to know about life on the franch.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>The resident responded, \u201cI was actually only looking for one, maybe two, sentences.\u201d<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_1252\" style=\"width: 256px\" class=\"wp-caption alignleft\"><a href=\"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/unnamed.jpg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-1252\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1252\" class=\"wp-image-1252 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/unnamed-246x300.jpg\" alt=\"Captain Jack, the blind goat\" width=\"246\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/unnamed-246x300.jpg 246w, https:\/\/franchlife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/12\/unnamed.jpg 343w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 246px) 100vw, 246px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-1252\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Captain Jack<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My husband is responsible for teaching medical students and residents on how to be emergency medicine doctors. \u00a0Reading our stories of life on the franch, you may be thinking of how you want to know which ER he\u2019s at with plans to avoid it. \u00a0But, he\u2019s actually really, really good at keeping people alive!! \u00a0So, [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"sfsi_plus_gutenberg_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_show_text_before_share":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_type":"","sfsi_plus_gutenberg_icon_alignemt":"","sfsi_plus_gutenburg_max_per_row":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1253","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","post-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1253","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=1253"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1253\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1260,"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1253\/revisions\/1260"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=1253"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=1253"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/franchlife.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=1253"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
