Ever thought of planting shade trees around your home? Or is it too dangerous with wind storms.

There were many beautiful old oaks around the house when I bought this place. We signed a contract last April of 2022. By the time we closed in July, they were dead and I had them taken down. Go to page one and see. I will plant trees around the house again, planning on Redbud trees in the back.

I’ve been taking it easy past few days. Resting and taking naps.?

Rest period is over. Neighbor Chase came over this morning and we worked a few sheep, trimmed some feet and wormed a few. He picked out his chocolate ram lamb and it’s exactly the one I would have chosen. He’s gone to get square bales and is going to pick up a bale of alfalfa for me.

We also weaned my Ringo 2.0 ram lamb. He’s not too happy right now. He’s 2 months and 10 days, time to get him out of there.
His hay guy is hauling round bales today, Bahia and Bermuda mixed for $80. Coastal Bermuda is running $150 per bale. The summer drought is driving up prices. My son is taking a weekend off on the next week or so and I may go pay for the hay and get him to haul it when he comes in. I’m thinking I need to get the hay nailed down and not wait until fall. Even if it rains, prices will still be high.

Leaving in about 30 minutes to take Carson for his rabies shot. When I come back, going to pick up a single bale from a cousin, for $80. He’s worried that he won’t have enough for his cows, but will let me have a bale. I’ll have him put it in the back of the truck and do the stomp accelerator, stomp brakes and roll it out. Then maybe I can push it into place with my tractor. If not, Chase will come set it for me.

I have to dry lot the sheep. They are over grazing the field, grass ain’t growing. My yard is sheep mowed!

This will give me an opportunity to spot spray their field, then mow it. Plus the front field too. Then I’ll get revved up and work on the short stretch of fence on the side of the front field.

Rest time is over, Play time starts now!
