That is so sad! I'm sorry :( I too do not have answers.

Are you willing to post photos of the lambs?

Do send photos!! :D And I hope you enjoy the drive!!

Hmmmm....I'm thinking I should keep back a weather with him all the time. That's a good idea.

As some of you know, we got into the Tunis sheep breed. :D Our first lambs arrived and are wonderful!! I do have a couple of questions on how you guys manage your Rams? We are not new to sheep and rams, however I'm new ish to keeping a ram on my property for an extended period of time as opposed...

I know you mentioned traps didn't work, but one year-we had a mouse infestation that our Cats couldn't control, there was too many of them. I put walnuts in the traps, that alone was irresistible enough that we caught almost 25 in traps. May be worth a try?

Oh man-I hope whatever reason you are at the ER is resolved :(. Will you guys ever get livestock Guardian dogs to protect your sheep from predators? Do update us when you get home!!

They arrived technically just before Christmas but we are so in love!! :D They are getting smarter when we go in to catch and cuddle them and scatter as fast as their little legs can carry them, but I'm bent on making two girls my best friend haha! That flashy red lamb is from my one California...

What are ya'll doing to beat this heat wave? Seems to have come early. Got our fans up, every now and then will put a wee bit of ice in the water. Best of luck to all you guys! This week will be triple digits the next 2 weeks. Possibly longer.

We had one like this, harvested her/him at harvest age....she too humped everything until she was processed. I'm not sure if this is always the "rule" but I read the likelihood of it happening was when the ewe had triplets, two rams and a ewe-the testosterone flush could cause this. I've only...

Oh I appreciate your feedback very much-I didn't take anything you said as critical! We raised her the same as we have with our Angus cross bottle calves (Alfalfa hay, corn and oats), and her size has me stumped which was why I reached out. I've never seen this before. We have not wormed her...

This was yesterday after I gave her a bath. You can see her size based on my fence. She is so tiny. It's been an extra muddy year this year, and gave me a hug as I was brushing the manure off of her.

This photo was taken maybe 3 weeks ago?

We have raised probably 20 bottle calves over the years and have never had a Hereford, but we purchased a sweet little calf last Spring and I'm in love. We named her Annie, however, feeding her like we have always done our bottle calves-she is TINY for being a year old in two weeks.....I'm...

I can't quite answer this question YET, but I sold all my 4H sheep and purchased the Tunis breed. Suposedly, they are a meat, wool, and milk sheep. I can't quite answer yet, because we have all new stock this year so I havn't actually miked them yet. But I have heard from others that their...

I give free ACV in a bucket for mine to drink as a worm preventative, I doubt a little would hurt them. :)

Truly, you take this when it's coming-out the front end too!? *Logging this recipe away for myself ;)

Babies are SO exciting!! Good luck and keep us updated! : D

I half wonder if it is a worm load, you may consider giving him a stronger wormer like Valbazen or Cydectin? Curious what his jaw looks like? Is it swollen underneath? Also curious his FAMACHA Score? There are photos on the web you can use to number him? So so so sorry! My heart aches for you...

Do you take your samples in or do you look under a microscope yourself?
