We have made it to fair! She weighed in yesterday, 114 and the min was 110. However we got here this morning and we have developed scours :( We pulled his feed, cleaned his pen she is currently washing him - any suggestions? We show at 4. 😬

@Margali Will do, thanks!

I believe she's decided to only show the market lamb so, in theory he won't be coming home 😜

Thanks @Mini Horses for the information :) I am definitely taking it all in.

I've been a "race mom" for dirtbikes (harescrambles) since the girl was 5. (She just turned 14 in May) I can handle holding all the things 🤣 My backpack for races will become multipurpose now - instead of dirtbike parts/tools it will be show tools! She reported today while working on bracing...

THIS is why I asked here ;) So THANK YOU for taking the time!!! I agree with your points here - and prior to talking to her had looked at the state rules (albeit not closely, but I will!!!) - nothing stood out as being an issue for her. This was one of the questions I had when I called and...

FFA she will be able to join when school starts, as she will be a Freshman. When I talked to a friend in one of the local 4H clubs about her joining now I got a less than stellar response, sadly. @Margali I'd love to read the thread w/your daughters information, but couldn't find it earlier...

She has been walking the wether and the ewe that is in the pen with him on halters 2x a day and has started working on getting his head up. So good to know we are on the right track! It's a local county fair/jr livestock auction, I haven't seen much in the way of rules on their site, but I will...

Good Morning you fine Flock! This is going to take a minute - if you read it all, you are a SAINT! So... two weeks ago, my daughter (14) decided she wants to show one of our lambs at one of the county fairs in Sept. I did not have my scrapie tags yet but now I do... that was an entire 💩show)...

No power steering doesn't scare me... LOL Just the volunteers to teach me dried up, claiming "plausible deniability" on WHO instructed me to operate the machinery. I already told my husband and his dad... (who happens to be teaching our 15 almost 16 yr old how to operate said backhoe...) once I...

*fan girling over here*

*please tell me you run the backhoe... please tell me you run the backhoe...* Being able to run the backhoe on our property is a life goal for me 🤪 tell one measely relative to get their life right or they become fertilizer and suddenly "heavy equipment operator" is taken off your "to do list" 🙄

And where, sir, is the fun in that? 🤣

So... Odds are he's sunburnt - oops. (I claimed to family he looks like a kid who got a HORRIBLE 80'S bowl cut 😬) unfortunately the mats were almost to the skin in some places, and I was diving deep in a less than desirable set up. Our Ram was definitely stressed after the fact - yet he bounded...

@Baymule being I know Texas heat is much more humid than California heat - I have a question. Our Ram never blew his first or second year coats and is walking around with excessive wool and we are headed into 3 straight days of heat advisories here. I'm concerned we should get that wool off him...

@SageHill No, they came from a farm in the next town over from us, another small (but growing) set up. I went out to open up there pen to a bigger area this morning and they were bouncing ready to GO! But as soon as they ran past me, turned around and came back waiting for me to bounce with them 🤣.

The sheep we recently got to start out with - 4 Katahdin ewes, 1 ram and then I picked up a Dorper Ewe and wether that are about 4 months old (and currently seperated from the rest of the flock so there are no accidental early pregnancies). The Dorper "babies" are loving being closer to the...

I should have added my husband and I moved home after 20 years of being gone with the military - our son was born in SE Texas! ;) We spent 8 years in Corpus Christi.

Sage, I was born in Long Beach - so I know both ends of the state quite well - despite having lived elsewhere during my husband's navy career ;)

What was the final outcome? My recommendation was going to be if you could get him to hand them over, and they become yours go that route. But otherwise I agree make him take them all.
