New Sheep! <3

Secuono, what kind of hay is available in your area? The only time we paid $85 for a round bale, was in 2011 when Texas was stricken with a terrible drought. We bought hay from a Guy trucking it from Oklahoma. Regular price in southeast Texas for 1000 to 1200 pound round bale is about $50.

Now, since moving to northeast Texas, we are blessed beyond belief. Right around the corner from us, about a mile, is a family that cuts hay! And prices big round bales at $35! The bales are Bermuda and bahia grass.

Found some others for less.
but a lot of hay makers are price gouging because all of the rain.
Found some for less, but we have to pick them up one at a time on Monday...I'll be so dead feeling after rolling 10+ of them!

All girl sheep? The camera and the lighting make them all look pink. Such a happy looking bunch a munchers you have there, @secuono. . . and soooooo much room for those few sheep-ies to roam.

Hay is very much higher here. Round bales are $85 -$150ish. They are various types, from orchard grass to timothy to alfalfa and different mixes.
Small bales, 2 string, about 85 pounds are from $8 - $12 depending on what they are. Cheaper by the multiple ton and picked up in the field.

Evidently hay is cheap here. The neighbor harvested, baled, and stored my hay but the police wouldn't do a thing about it.

Last night's picture is of all the boys.
Rams in the front, 2 wethers in the back.
Cell phone picture at dusk. So, yea, the sky was pink and so were the sheepies.

Tall line of weeds on the right is the fence line.
Last pic, on the left, sticks with dots on top is the fence line.

Beautiful sky, great photo! I knew those were your boys, but I had to tease you for the pink wool. Chubby looking guys from this angle. I don't think I've ever seen so much moon at one time.
