best place to find pet and livestock care would be at your local feed store ..hope there is a bullitin board there …simplifies things. Also try the 4-H Kids for help with the cows. Wish I was closer and could help you. There may be house swaps too available on Craigslist, or your church or spiritual group. Hope your vacation is fine.

Hello , I would check with your local church to find someone reliable to care for your home while gone.It is hard these day’s to find someone who you can trust. Or if you have friend’s that are retired may do it. I am from Michigan and know how the weather can change by the water. Make sure to bring sweat shirts. Black clothing is the best color to travel with. It does not show dirt.I went to Europe for three months and brought all black washable clothing in the sink. I backpacked and rolled my clothing up.Black goes with ever color so some t-shirts that do not take up space that you can roll up is the way to go. They are also colorful and wash easily these days there are so my different cut’s that they do not have to look like a square.Have a great trip. If I could pack everything in my backpack and be gone for 3 months you can too. Good luck finding someone to watch you home. Not a good idea to put a sign out. Sad that we cannot trust anyone these day’s. If you place a sign out you could come home to an empty house. Be careful. Bye Kat

we have a small farm. we are trying to plan a family trip (fishing), we are going to go to the outerbanks of nc.
we have rented a small townhouse. it is on the beach. we have 3 cows to milk 2x a day, we also many chickens, one dog that cannot come. a garden etc…, we are trying to decide to either put out a sign farm help needed or dry the cows up. also how easy is it to find someone to come into your home and care for all of these things.
we have 4 children and we are all gong to be packing a backpack rather then a suitcase. we do have the privilage of a washer and dryer.
anyway, not sure how much to pack for us all. any advice would be helpful also we will be gone for 8 days.
thank you b shaw
