Today the girls helped me castrate 2 of the ram lambs. Told them several days ago and they wanted to know what it was. That night we watched Dr Pol a veterinary show. And what did he do? He castrated a mini donkey and 3 mini horse stallions! They were a big help and very interested in the...

What a beautiful dinner.

Tiny had triplets yesterday morning! Tiny, triplet daughter of Miranda, had 2 ewes and a ram. Of course the ram is spotted. Girls were thrilled. They held the lambs as I ear tagged and CDT shots. These lambs are second generation at 75%. I will record them with the Katahdin club as 75%. I’ll...

Ewenique finally had her lambs! Both are boys, healthy and beautiful.

Coffee is ready, on my second cup. I woke up at 3, went back to sleep and got up at 5:04. Big bright full moon! Hopefully Ewenique had her lambs last night!

I picked up my granddaughters Friday night and the family dogs. DD and husband are in Spain. We just swapped vehicles because it was easier. Got home at 11:30 PM, unloaded kids, dogs, luggage and we went to bed. Their dogs are Taco a mini weiner dog and Pepper, a blue Merle half Heeler and...

Woke up at 2 AM. It’s a full moon, bright outside. Dogs are quiet, no reason for me to wake up, just did, wide awake.

This morning: Ewenique——zero! No lambs! But Ewenique’s daughter, Jet had a single ram lamb last night. He’s a big healthy boy. Granddaughters helped me eat tag him and give him a CDT shot. Jet took him out on the field with the flock and he kept up and did just fine.

No I have never grown micro greens. They look tasty.

That’s Cinnamon, she’s thinking that I should jump the fence and come give her a tummy rub!

Your FIL was a blessed man with wonderful family. You and your husband were loving and kind to him when he needed you most. ❤️❤️

My joy in little things for this past week has been that it got above freezing during the day. This coming week it will be above freezing at night, so no more ice. While parts of the country and even northern Texas has had snow, ice and sleet, it stayed right above me and I am grateful.

Finished my coffee. Waiting on daylight to go outside, care for sheep and check for any new lambs. It poured rain all afternoon yesterday and last night.

I vote for the conventional spay. I know you are trying to do the best for your precious new friend, but the search is becoming a hardship. Too far away, way too expensive and stressful. Good point on proper training @ducks4you . An old dog CAN learn new tricks, or any dog at any age. My...

@SPedigrees pardon my laughter at a 30 minute drive to get to the farmers market. For me, a 30 minute drive is my normal. There is a small blinking light community with a dollar store, convenience store, post office and that’s about it, 10 miles away. Anything else is 30-40 minutes in either...

There is a place in Lufkin where I can get 20’ sheep and goat panels, with the 4” holes like my fence wire for under $70 per panel. MUCH better price than Tractor Supply or any of the other farm stores. As I make permanent improvements around here, I’m going to phase out the cow panels and use...

Peggy and Bennett gave me a partial roll of 4’ welded wire, so I used that this morning to cover the Red River panels as far as it went. It will keep the lambs from crawling under the panels. When I ran out of that, I used a 25’ roll of 2’ welded wire and that covered the rest up to the...

I’m too far out of town for a donkey cart. 30 miles would take awhile. Guess I’d better keep my truck and roller skate, er CAR! Car gets 42 MPG.

Hi! Good to see you over here! Being able to grow your own food is a good thing to learn. I’m glad that you are here wanting to learn. This is a friendly bunch of folks and we love to help.

Sheba and Buford love to run and play. Sheba has always been playful. Her favorite is to dive under his belly, biting opposite hind leg, giving him only her butt that’s hard to bite, and jerking his leg out from under him. It is play, but this is how Anatolians attack predators. Once down...
