My neighbor castrated mine at about a week and a half. He cut them because he said he's had problems wih infection from banding, plus you can miss a testicle if you aren't careful. I think I was more traumatized then my baby. I've heard of urinary problems with castrating cats too young, but...
My son wants me to say not to put them in the freezer. He's not used to a real farm where all the animals aren't pets. We don't even eat our chickens. Man, does lamb taste good though!
I always say no one will talk about my house-keeping at my funeral, unless it is how lacking I was. There are such better things to do, like taking a nap! Or gardening. Or playing with lambs. I am the queen of neglected houses though I will admit it is nice to have a clean house.
:bun :weee :celebrate :celebrate :celebrate
So glad to hear about the babies! Thelma must be relieved. The black one looks a lot like the shetland boy I had born here on Father's day. I've really enjoyed sharing the waiting with all of you!
:weee
I have one who is probably pregnant with no idea when she bred, so I may be here with a waiting story in the next month or so myself. Cotton is a finn, cormo, shetland mix probably bred to my black and spotted shetland ram. I hope she doesn't make us as nuts as Thelma.
