Tina's LucyGraycee
Hello my name is Tina. I do not own any livestock myself but have been raised with all sorts farm animals but never sheep. Definitely a huge responsibility to take on considering my limited income to accommodate sheep needs daily with feeding, housing, medical, breeding, etc. I started taking care of these sheep 2021 due to abusive owner. I have a huge heart for all kinds of animals...go figure living in Texas!! I'm single, energetic, not afraid to face challenges (careful what you say out loud), don't mind doing whatever it takes to help or save anything in need. If I can't help, I find someone who can. I have gained tremendous amount of compassionate people since I took on these sheep. I've learned tons of things about them & their care but I'm always finding myself in new situations that are out of my realm of knowledge when it comes to these guys. I believe all living species (animal) deserve names. I name them according to personality, birth related happenings, familiar traits to people or other animals. I've been surprised continously with these sheep from their unknown background care (definitely not hard to determine though), breeding cross, needs arising from it. I've just turned 65 & live alone with my Exotic Bully Bulldog Calamity Jane "CJ" imported from Italy. I've been on my on for 20 yrs so I've had to learn & adapt to my capabilities for circumstances that may present themselves which is pretty much a given at 4'11 105 lbs. Hey equalizers get it done. Texas saying..
"Git ER Done" sometimes takes considerable more effort than it sounds. In closing that's why I chose to join. I've read just about every forum & used alot of info people have posted for my current situation or I know which direction to go in. I love this site. While I might not have alot to offer in beginning I hope to continue to expand my knowledge by way of awesome members of Backyard Herds (which BTW is literally what I have transformed into sheep habitat, of course with more area than just my yard). Inclosing I'm excited to be part of this site & want to say now "I hope I don't wear out my welcome by asking to many questions. Although on my behalf I try to seek help for the most for critical problems with smaller versions of general info. So...
HOWDY & GOOD EVENING FROM
