.... Another day... Done. Still living. Tomorrow is almost here. Must prepare beforehand o_O o_O

Lol! Thank you @Baymule ! That is a most beautiful way of looking at it. I'm glad I've been given a chance to relax and did something instead of being absorbed by my chores lol

It broke on the knife head where the bolt connects it to the arm which cycles the bar back and forth.

I actually just watched that video of her replacing the sickle bar yesterday. She never mentioned what caused it to break. When I raise the haybine up if I'm having to run over a spot which I already have a row made, (so the PTO is still on and spinning) it makes a loud rattling noise. Well it...

Lots of updates, one question to those who might know. What causes a knife head on a haybine to break? The haybine is a sickle bar type.

Thanks, updates will follow.... Someday when I don't feel dead.

New born girl. 4am. 9.8lbs. only 2 hour labor. Born at home.

Praying that things go on without a hitch. What's their timeline for all this to be finished and you in the house?

Just cought up with everything going on. Hope the appt with the bank goes well today.

I'm afraid I can't help as far as the amount of acreage being sufficient or not but I can say that I have never had a ewe escape. Again, we won't talk about Rams, but ewes are just fine wherever I put them, whether that be stall, small confine or pasture. I know @Baymule has Rams that you could...

I did just want to clarify that the ones that died like flies were not my awassi lol. Also, the awassi I'm milking now was only $250 and she came with a lamb, she's just not "pure" bred. And my main awassi line didn't cost an arm and a leg! It cost me an arm, a leg and a kidney! It's ok though...

Hi and welcome to the forums! You'll find a ton of great and useful information here. It's where I learned almost all I know about....well, living in the country. Purchasing milking sheep was one of the best (and most expensive) purchases I've made since moving to this farm. If you are...

Glad your safe too. I'm fine with organized protests. That's in the constitution, but those rioters are giving a bad name to the people who actually believe in what they are standing up and protesting for.

I'm not sure what you mean by people fighting here. I thought it was simply sharing different ideas with each other and getting the other side. Just because 2 people have different opinions doesn't mean it gets nasty and from what I've seen people have stayed quite civilized and respectful. If...

I've always been curious about this. When you have one group of experts says one thing and then a second group says a second thing which one is then considered "misinformation" and how do you sort it out? Yes, I agree. They've already said that there WILL be a second wave worst than the first...

Nope, no clue lol. She's prepared for either since we have totes fill of either boys or girls clothes ranging from new born to 13 y/o. I figure when the baby arrives it'll be the good ol "It's a (insert sex)!" Unless it's gender neutral. Then I'll say, "it's a thing!" :gig We have 6 girls and...

Sorry, but when governors start saying that shaking hands is a no go but it's still ok to "shack up" with a stranger at "you own risk" that's when I skip off to Looney town and continue to shake hands with people. You know, the polite things to do. I feel this whole thing has made the entire...

Coming from a city mentality for most of my life I've had to change my thinking to this and it's proved much more relaxing

:gig

She is due on June 7th and for the past 8 children hasn't gone early, (and only in her due date once). I'm expecting her to produce the fruit of our love and the 9th of June but either way, she is going to start her maternity leave in her due date. Thanks for asking and great memory!
