We went in for a follow-up with the cardiologist to get the results from scans I had done awhile back and he told me that I had a heart attack at some point but everything looks good other than that. He talked me into taking a shot that you do twice a month to yourself that somehow helps with...

We were going to take one of our oldest ewe to the sale tomorrow as she has had a really hard time getting back in condition after lambing during the last two cycles. She has been such a good mannered and loving mom and we won't breed her again but we changed our mind about the sale. She can...

We got the sheep worked and separated so we can hit the sale on Monday. We culled heavy again but still wound up keeping 10 of the lambs but we only wound up with upping our total number by 6. Teresa got stung by a wasp just as we were starting which makes twice this week. This one was a...

One of the biggest issues with the high temps is feeding Mel and Maisy. When it gets in the high 90's, they will either not eat at all or very little. I get around that the best I can by feeding early in the morning and waiting to feed in the evening after it cools a bit. I just got back in...

We got the sheep moved and ready to work but then we both decided that the 10 degree cooler temps tomorrow were too inviting to ignore. It was already 90 degrees at 10:00 with a high right at 100 today so that 86 tomorrow is looking better.

We are going to merge all of the sheep today and sort out which ones will be going to the sale Monday. We have several of the adults that will be going and a bunch of the ewe lambs. This is another shot at getting our numbers where we want and to cull some adult ewes that should have been...

We have had our place for almost 8 years and have never had this kind of heat.I was out mowing yesterday and never broke out a sweat but the humidity was way down. Today was high humidity and high temps so I was sweating with 105 temps. I had a couple of lesions on my back removed yesterday...

Is that hurricane going your way or is it too early to tell?

Today was fairly lazy since the temp was pushing 100. I did get all of the first maintenance done on the zero turn. They did a pretty good job of engineering that machine as it only took about 15 minutes to change everything.

To say you have your hands full is an understatement!

We are working on getting my shoulder taken care of. I have a good surgeon that I am really comfortable with and I like the fact that he is leaving it up to me about the when. There just seemed to be a lot of other things that needed tp be checked off as no complications first. Now that they...

I can be kind of slow but I finally figured out that aging can be a pain in the butt. I have seen more doctors in the last month than I have seen in the last 30 years. I had to have a flight physical every year when I was working but it never went beyond that. A quick visit to my provider a...

It was painless and they got the results they needed. The only side affect was a low grade headache and I NEVER get headaches but it was tolerable.

They told me what they were but that went right over my head. It wasn't that hard to find though. I think the main reason they like these is that it makes the scans a lot more readable. Dobutamine: Unlike the vasodilators, dobutamine is an inotropic agent. It works by increasing heart rate...

I had an appointment for a stress test this morning and it sure was different than the last one I had 40 or so years ago when you had to do all kinds of physical things. Now it's all drug driven and several different kinds of scans and I wasn't expecting that. The staff at the hospital was...

We had some of that Amish corn tonight with supper and it was like candy. I'm not sure what the type was but it is delicious. We have been taking good long looks at our sheep and at the probable weather so we are going to do some serious work on our numbers. We have several 3-4 year olds...

We got a bunch of corn from the Amish farms today. They have the largest/tastiest sweet corn that I have ever had and we quit growing it since we started buying from them several years ago.

it's bone on bone now. I am planning on surgery but we want to wait until after Teresa goes to see her kids in August. I'm just getting wimpy I guess. :)

There is quite a few folks on here that have had or have family that had shoulder problems. My shoulder has been mostly bearable until recently and in the last several days, I have started to feel shooting pain down my arm when I move it. What I want to know is have folks found that to happen...

You may already do this but we make it a point at a minimum to have a wether or even a tame ewe in with lambs. The lambs tend to follow the adult and it tames them down a lot faster.
