Wow.

I wouldn't recommend babydolls for milk.

Any pregnancy pictures?

Two babydoll lambs looking through the gate together.

I like FB because it's free.

The nightshades or Solanum--are they poisonous to sheep? I'm wondering if I can plant some egg plants in my garden. I googled it, and it seems to indeed be a problem. I'm wondering what other people know.

I sure hope they don't abort. That would be awful.

I realized I had moldy hay in the hay feeder, so I pulled it out. The sheep had already eaten some of it. Now what will happen?

If your chicken coop is better insulated than your house.

Love it!

And called in to work so you could stay home to do it.

When a ram wants to breed, he will find a way! Everything was fine after work. I go out later to say hi to my sheep and sure enough, gates are moved and sheep are getting bred that I did not want to get bred. Sheep that were supposed to be in the breeding pen, have escaped the breeding pen...

We've missed one and had surprise pregnancies. Now I stick to burdizzo and no problems since. Definitely agree it's a two man (or two women) job.

I think generally speaking, you will not have a problem with a wether. Although I agree that breed and the way the animal was raised will make a big difference. We have a lot of wethers. Their personalities tend to follow their mom's personalities. I've raised them all as pets. No problems...

We did three sheep with the trailer, so we couldn't fit them all in the car. But we were quite the sight. We had a cop follow us a ways, but never pulled us over. Maybe he thought we were entertaining.

Another one: You name your farm animals after country music singers. (I have a lamb named Merle.)

These are all so great! I can relate to many of them. The majority of your facebook posts are of your animals. Yup. Definitely no "nice" shoes. Your real job really does get in the way of lambing season. Electric bill is the highest in spring from the heat lamps! Some new ones: You...

Someone talking to me: What do you do with your chickens? Me: You mean during the winter? Nothing, they just don't like to go outside as often. Hmmm? I only keep chickens during our three month summer. Here's your sign.

I have a small flock too. We have Old English Southdowns (Babydolls), which really are not that rare anymore. My ram is with his two ewes this year and he bred them on the first day. The next 6 weeks is really a waste of time because the job was done. But he sure enjoys having buddies to...
