My sister did AI on her BC and got 5 puppies.

“Let me out, mom!!” Sheep watching

Dee’s little boys

Bramble is working really hard to make me love her. It might be working. Babies make the best pillows. It’s a win-win for Farr, she’s comfy and she knows where her child is.

Dee lambed this afternoon. 2 boys, 1 black with sugar lips, 1 moorit. I guess the my must have been pretty squished in there because less than 3hrs after they were born, they were bouncing around the stall. This is the end of the official Shetland lambing season, although Freyja and...

Lambs aren’t really viable until they are around 138 days gestation. Presumably your ewe is having a vaginal prolapse. She should be fine to let her go until her due date. The prolapse will resolve after lambing. There are prolapse retainers that you can use to hold things in until she...

I was sick all day Monday. It was that tired, slight sore throat feeling that you could tell was leading to something more. I napped off and on all day. I even texted my boss to let her know that there was a chance I wouldn’t be able to work on Tuesday. I woke up on Tuesday still able to breathe...

Mallie’s girl, Sally. The gray on her lips is what I’m referring to when I say “sugar lips”. This means she has the graying gene and her fleece will be gray instead of black. Compare that to Farr’s girl, Susan. She does not have sugar lips. She will most likely stay black.

Jemima’s chunky monkey, Eala Linga’s boys Leif He’s got spots *everywhere* 🤣 Vine

Briar, she’s most likely a keeper along with Twig.

I don’t have any patience with trying to bribe dogs to take pills. All my dogs, even Oskar, are trained to let me open their mouth and drop the pills in.

I have a friend who is a vet and a dairy farmer. She would round up all the male barn cats and neuter them. One time she released them back in the barn before they were fully recovered from the sedation, her father saw a bunch of cats staggering around and shot them all because he thought they...

I got about 3hrs of sleep last night. I was awake until almost 1am, in part because I have trouble falling asleep, but also because I was watching Fyne to decide if she was actually in labor or just shifting babies around. I was pretty sure she was in labor though so when I couldn’t keep my eyes...

Fyne is still holding on to her spawn, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see lamb(s) in the morning.

Mallie lambed at 1920 (while I was still at work). We were slow so I spent the day watching her on the cameras. I almost had my sister go check on her because she was farting around and not getting business done. She was extremely crabby and was trying to butt every sheep that passed her pen. I...

Is homeschooling or even online through the school an option for you? My niece (7) loves school but she had such a hard time last year with in-person classes. The days were long and she was so frustrated by her classmates and how the teacher handled problems. She came home exhausted and in...

We were in a tornado warning last night. We survived. Never lost power and didn’t blow away. Mallie and Fyne only picked at their breakfast this morning.

Jemima had a 13lb girl around 5 or 6 this morning and Farr had a single solid black girl at 0845. I’m disappointed Farr only had one, but at least she gave me a girl, she gave me 2 boys last year. No spots at all. She didn’t have any spots last year either so I’m guessing she isn’t a spot...

My bestest boy. 💕 He looks all clean and fluffy like I’ve spent time bathing and grooming him, but really he played with sheep next door (my sister was working dogs), went for a swim in the pond, and then air dried running through the woods. He never plays with sticks unless I’ve got the...
