And we’re back! We have been super crazy around here and I haven’t had a moment in weeks. Between work and my wife’s health issues and a nearby fire life has been a little crazy. But works calmed down, the fire is out, and we’ve got my wife on new meds so hopefully we can sit down and enjoy...

Most of the group. Bellwether isn’t very photo genic And a happy little sheep dog

We would gladly take some rain over here. It’s so dry my neighbor just had his first cut in 3 years that didn’t get rained on. Here’s hoping for July

I appreciate the info. I only read the first time through, I figured you’d accidentally posted multiple times. But you never know, repetition is key to learning. I had a substitute teacher 18 years ago who did the same intro every time she subbed, and I still have it memorized to this day.

Intending mostly for meat but it’s interesting how people can be reluctant to try something new. Course it all depends on what you’re raised with I have a friend who was raised on a dairy and grew up hearing everyone talk about how great steak was. His experience was steak wasn’t all that...

Hi ridgetop. For marketing Ive toyed with various ideas as to how I want to go about it and have been making some contacts to hopefully open some new doors to me. Most of the folks in my county are cattle ranchers, and it’s only been in the last year that my neighbor decided to get into sheep...

@CntryBoy777 Im sorry to say that the Indian runners are no longer with us. The neighbors dogs came back, dug into the duck pen and killed another and left another one critically injured, I ended up having to euthanize her. So we had one left and so I gave her to a friend who had some runners...

Looking at an above ground pool, a kiddie pool, or I’ll just spray her with a hose;)

Bella is 3/4 border collie and 1/4 Aussie. Her mom is a red and white border collie and comes from some of the best cattle bred border collies in southern Utah. Her dad is a border/Aussie cross and is actually a half brother to my dog Kya. The wife and kids are good we’re getting ready to go...

So im revamping the horse corral, and unfortunately i wont have time to finish it before dark so i put the horses with the sheep and kept an eye on them to make sure everyone played nice. Turns out theyre the best of friends and theyre super good together. It only for a day though. Also even...

Benefit of utah, our snakes arent much for climbing trees. Also we never have to guess if its poisonous as our only venomous snakes are rattlers. Still, i can totally undersrand jumping away as fast as possible, though the mental image is pretty funny!

So not much has gotten done around here for the last couple weeks. I had some serious chest pain just after the ram lamb was born and my neighbor had to run me to the hospital while my wife stayed home with the kids. Several hours and a million tests later I got the good news that I wasn’t...

And the newest addition came today. Ma had a healthy single ram lamb!

That picture is exactly how he looked graybeard. He was fine in a few days and now sprints all over with his sister

Those little buggers sure grow fast! The two lambs (my kids named them Lambert and Dotty) spend their days running all over and playing and go seek in the sage brush. Also I noticed when I got them that the oldest ewe (Ma) seemed like she had a little bit of a bag on her, but I figured maybe...

I tell folks I make bacon seeds

Well after a couple of days Lambert’s feet have straightened out. I’ve banded their tails but my friend requested I leave Lambert intact as he got more bottle lambs this year and is interested in breeding some of the ewes next year. I figured why not it’s worth a shot.

I’m sorry but 7-8 lbs for a 10 week pig? I wean at 28 days and those are at least 18 lbs. avg is more like 22. I’d wager looking at her with her weight she’s either a real sick 3 week old or maybe he meant 10 days. The change from yellow to brown is the change in diet, milk will be a yellow...

You’re good @Latestarter I do work with pigs. How old is your weaner pig? Is there vomit with the scours? What color is the scours? Weight? These are just a few questions to get an idea behind the scours, weaning is a stressful time. I actually raise pigs on a commercial scale, where I’m...

One ewe lamb and one ram. The ram walks funny, like he’s tip toeing on his front feet I’ve never seen something like that before
