I don't have GSDs. But breeders of GSDs I know personally have trouble with intact bitches being together even without litters on the ground (giving fair meaning to "bitch fight"). Though your girls are still "puppies", so they may not have hit that stage.
As far as a whelping area you should...
No, no , no - So sad to see this. He was a heart dog, the best kind ever. It hurts to read this, I think we all loved him and his gentle soul. HUGS, BIG HUGS.
Well dang on the truck not being up to hauling anything. EEESH. We have a Ford Ranger (the bigger one, not the small one of years ago). Works great with out stock trailer. Because of CA pricing we bought it in IA and picked up a trailer in OK on the drive back a few years ago.
Another cool morning. Great for a little grazing - LOL just Obi and me. Zo hurt his paw yesterday, on the underside of the right front the pads are fine, but between the pads is red. With the crunchy brown vegitation he more than likely pounded his paws into brush - a few days off, spritzes with...
On cup 3 !! EEP - but I added hot milk - so it's not really coffee, and it IS November so I added some Hershey's syrup so that's more like hot cocoa right?! Already back from grazing. Other ranch stuff to do, but it's time out time. ;)
Oh gawd, don't give me any ideas :lol: - you do know that when I had the Tervuren I had a 4 dog hitch right?! Still have the cart. But I can see loading it up with tired lambs (who are hooligans to the n'th degree) and watch them hop in and out of the moving cart. Wish I could draw decently, it...
It's November and I'm finally back at it. YAY and YAY back to grazing, it's been way too long.
Went out both yesterday and this morning. Temps in the hig 40's to lo 50's to start. Makes for less of a rattlesnake issue.
We've had no appreciable rain since ?April I think. I think one or two...
I'm all on the soapbox with @farmerjan and everyone. I think taking the best of both worlds (or however many) is a better route to go. Again - all boils down to common sense which seems to be so lacking, esp in those who are blind followers of whatever method.
I look at all the gluten...
Three for sure will be staying - the black ewe and the two light brown/tan. I may keep the white out of Silver as her lambs grow up big. Keeping 3 or 4 and seriously looking at what else I have that I may sell/auction.
With all that was going on I only managed pics. Sad I know - but it did save me in being sure. That and the quick posts here :lol:. LOL I didn't plan on puppies and lambs together, and especially not puppies going home and lambing at the same time! Ewes, they maka you crazy. But it was really...
Thanks! I seriously did not think that Black Cap was a Dorper, and for that matter Silver (who is a silver grey), a cross possibly at best. The two whites may be. When I bought them the plan was still in it's original form - sheep for training dogs / giving lessons. The other ewes I've got are...
