With the response from the breeders, I told DS2 to back off and not get a puppy right now. He doesn't have time to train it and Kathleen can't do it either. She has 2 active boys under 4 and is pregnant, due the end of April. :D =D DS2 and DDIL2 are both older and wanted to get their family...

How would that work with doing the hay? And planting corn, etc. You couldn't pay him to do it because that would be a job. Sounds like VDOT is a real problem.

I posted the name and particulars of a good vet for farm and pet. Also Cody's number for hay. It is good to always have a back up ram - just in case. He can always be sold or put in the freezer.

UGH! That happens frequently. Not nice but if he has seniority it depends how the company figures the seniority - actual time at the company or time on the particular crews. Hopefully you will get back to days soon, and the fact they recognie you are so good that yu can train someone else is...

Welcome to east Texas! We are located in Yantis. We breed registered White Dorper sheep. We have 45 breeding ewes, 5 rams, and 16 ewe lambs right now. 4 lambs are scheduled for the freezer, and we will be selling some ewes and rams after lambing in January-February. We also have a gaited...

Beautiful Job all Weekend! :yesss::highfive::weee Congratulations!

Such pretty markings. Balck Cap is not a pure Dorper if black with white markings. Probably a cross bred. Some black headed Dorpers can have additional black markings - inelligible to register even with registered parents. White Dorpers can occasionally produce a lamb with black markings -...

So after the 5 years he can go back to farming and collect his full retirement?

NO NEED FOR WORDS! :weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee:weee CONGRATULATIONS TO US, THE PEOPLE! On a depressing note, Twinkles did have a gas (diesel) leak. It is being repaired along with the door latch light which was some sort of wiring thing. We will be buying a new truck once we...

Y're rght, sounds like she is drying up after nursing several calves and they sold them separately, then stuck this new one on to send her to the auction and sell. Wi you have her preg checked when the vet comes out? Hopefuly she is bred, but to what? If a small birthweight bull ok :fl...

Aaaawwww! The toughest guys make the best pet daddies! :love

WE VOTED! Now an evening devoted to election returns. I remember as a child that Voting Day was a horrible day - nothing on TV! We have joined the adults watching electio returns non stop all evening now. Took care of some business today on the computer. Filed out my NAHMS questionnaire...

Got it.

My husband's favorite T-shirt years ago had a horse talking to his stablemate saying "Hi! What's your name? Mine is 'Whoa! Damn It'. LOL

Monday - Picked up the truck and returned the truck to the service center 5 minutes later. :barnie I was already home and DH called to say that EITHER the door latch was malfunctining OR THE DOOR AJAR light was malfunctioning and lighting up. Not sure if they will fix it now or if I will have...

Confused. Are the ones living in the traier the children of the nasty neighbors? Thought you wanted them gone. ???

If she accepted a different calf she should make a good nurse cow. Hopefully she is bred nw and wil cme in to good milk. :fl At the California place (NOTICE that I am NOT referring to it as "home") we normally have to use an auger to drill for fence posts. Hopefully they will still do your...

Since sheep have to be trained to work with the dogs, it is possible that the black headed Dorpers are more flighty and may move better working wth the dogs. The White Dorpers may not move as well since they are calmer and once they are familiar with the dogs may not move for them. Not sure...

Is it possible that the cow was starting to dry up when someone put the calf on her? Maybe she will rebreed and when she comes fresh she will have more milk yield.

Sorry - it's the opposite. The White Dorpers are much calmer than the black headed Dorpers. The black headed Dorpers can be super aggressive and wild.
