This is what I got done yesterday. I still have to finish raising the front higher than the back then run 2x4s front to back, for water run off, then 1-by’s length wise so I can put the tin on. I may even have time to staple some big woven plastic, opened up dog food bags on the front (north...
Finishing up second cup of coffee. Middle America is gearing up for a snow and ice storm. Texas was on the list for some of that, but it has moved upward and it looks like East Texas will get cold weather but not get hammered like other parts of the country. Y’all hunker down!
Coffee is ready! I’ve finished 3 cups this morning and fixing to get outside and see what I can get into.
Check to see if any ewes have lambed
Give bottle to Spot
Feed sheep
Back truck in front field and unload pallets
And that’s for starters.
Son is leaving this morning to go back to west Texas...
I bought 6 gallons of milk, poured a little off the top and put in the freezer. I don’t want to run out of milk for Spot the bottle lamb. Technically he is 6 weeks old and I could warn him, but o don’t like weaning so young. I don’t know about yall, but in the South where ice and snow are...
I’ll be ok, just like my winters to be 38F at night with highs of 70F days. Oh well, it will last maybe a couple of weeks. Just as long as WINTER doesn’t pull this again in February!
I’ll be getting ready for a snow and ice event headed towards Texas and half the country. I’m going today to buy some alfalfa hay bales and more buckets. Can never have too many buckets. LOL
Coffee is ready. After watching this, I think I need to go get a bottle of whiskey.
The best part of this oncoming big freeze is that I’m meeting my DD and her husband to pick up the little granddaughters on the 10th when storm strikes. And keep them through the 19th. DD and DSIL are going...
I had 3 ewe lambs born on New Year’s Eve, plus the 3 ewe lambs born on December 7. One of the ewe lambs born on December 7 is named Scottie, after my brother, it was his birthday.
I love the name Fluffy. I think I’ll name Granny’s ewe lamb fluffy, she is looking beautiful and I’m going to keep...
Had 4 new lambs born last night. Buford got a newborn lamb lesson. He did real good, he was respectful of the mother, sniffed her, then sniffed lambs.
Then before he could go play with Sheba, he got a truck lesson. I didn’t have to get in the back with him this time. And I was able to...
Lambs! :weee
Yesterday Gingera First Freshener or FF, had a single ewe lamb. I moved them to a small pen so they wouldn’t have “help” from the ewe crew.
2 sets of twins last night. Easter, born Easter morning, her mom was born on New Year’s Eve, appropriately named Eve, from Miranda...
