Cinnamon, registered ewe from @margali on BYH had a single white ewe lamb yesterday morning. I gave middle granddaughter naming rights, it’s 5 days past her birthday. Name is unknown as of yet. I put them in a small pen to bond. Cinnamon was ready to go out on the field with the rest of the Ewe...

I’ll play! Alexa, add milk to the shopping list. Just send me your address, my phone will take me to your front door. I got a new laptop. I love my Ring doorbell and security camera. I love ordering groceries online and just picking them up. My car will drive itself.

Please don’t get the flu or a cold!

Wednesday and Thursday I got 4” of rain, it got cold and it is muddy. Yesterday I set 2 round bales of hay, hated to make ruts with big tractor, but sheep needed hay.

He has earned his retirement!❤️

Hi @Collector !!!! It’s good to see you! Currently I have 33 ewes, 3 rams and 33 lambs with 7 more ewes to lamb. So 69 head and the number will rise. Out of this bunch I’ll sell 4 ewes when lambs are weaned. So far I’m keeping 10 of the ewe lambs. I won’t know my numbers until all have...

Today is a drizzly wet day. Buford and Sheba are together in the front field. As long as it’s a drizzle or soft mist, the sheep and dogs are happy to be out on the field. When a hard shower blasts out of the clouds, the sheep run for cover. Shower over, they trickle back out on the field...

Got a fog white out here. Gonna rain and storm today and tomorrow. Guess I’ll finally stay inside and clean house. LOL

I slept till 6:45. Finishing my second cup of coffee, then outside to work sheep through the chute. I need to sort 2 ewes with their lambs out of the middle field and put them in the front field.

I like it! Bambi it is! And here she is, with her mom, under the watchful eye of Carson. Newborns bring out the hunting dog genetics. Sometimes he stares intently. They are about the size of a cotton tail rabbit, which is why he is not allowed in the field. This evening I noticed Bambi...

Coffee is good this morning! It’s another 80F degree day…. in FEBRUARY! I got mosquito bites yesterday! NOOOO……. Only 3 more days of this madness, then highs will be in the low 60’s. That’s more like it.

Two new moms yesterday . One was Bon Bon, in the middle field. Buford is in the pen at night with Cooper the ram, next to, but not in with the ewes in the next pen. When I turn him and the ewes out in the mornings he always goes to check on new moms and babies. About a week ago, Buford put...

B40 had a tiny ewe lamb yesterday morning, Little Ringo is the sire. I did not jug her, she was being attentive and making sure the lamb fed. I caught her and tagged her with a scrapie tag. When I fed ewes there was a mad stampede of greedy girls, the lamb was crying for her mother, but mom was...

I got the panels even, hog ringed and put bricks under the other end, then stapled it. Last hog panel. Oops. I miscalculated and the cross member needed to be moved over. I unscrewed it, moved it out so the last panel would fit, then screwed it back to the runner pieces. Then I put on the...

I got my dirt pile Friday. I moved dirt Saturday and got the dirt pad for the chicken hoop coop to be built on. It may not look like much, but that’s between 30 and 40 trips from dirt pile to dirt pad on my little 23HP Kubota tractor. Plus raking it smooth periodically. Sunday was church...

Coffee is ready! I’ve got to run sheep through the chute this morning and sort some and worm some. Then go scrap out some lumber for a hoop coop.

Carson has a real hard life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️

On January 25, 2025, a ewe, Specks, had a rough birth and dead lamb. I left the lamb with her instead of whisking it away so she would know it was dead and not be looking for it. I gave her shots of antibiotic and B vitamins and a bucket of warm molasses water. She didn’t drink it, but eagerly...

That makes sense and I love this guy’s humor.

Seed swap looks like fun.
