2016, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Have 2 possible buyers for the ewe. I decided I want to try and only keep back dual registered ewes. But I may keep ewes from my more original ewes as well, just because they're great.

Net is dead, so I'm out in town to respond to messages and all. =/ Stupid Comcast...

<--pretty ticked off at comcast myself right now.

Ugh, the slowness is so annoying!
I just realized that the ram lost his scrapie tag, so no longer matching his papers. So I need to sell him.
Worse yet, the ewes only have ID tags, those match the papers, but IDK if the registry will refuse them anyway or what....And even worse, if a sheep that's registered as a lamb then grows larger than the limit and the new owner tries to transfer it, the sheep will be refused. Are you kidding me???

Just the worst week ever thus far in my life!

Hang in there... It eventually turns around (just... how soon?)

So, officially, the ram and big ewe are headed out. I believe I've found an outlet for culls that pays an acceptable amount if it doesn't sell for other purposes. So that's a slight plus.

Just sent pictures of the 2 remaining ewes and hoping they are accepted. Then I can register the lamb. Had all ewes tested and they are QR. Meh, I can live with that, just would of been nice to know which not to test, since some can't stay.

The big ewe is 27in!!!! =0 Holy cow! One inch shorter than TT! I guess since she's wide and looks like a Southdown, I didn't realize her height until I put the stick to her. =/

Why does it matter that the ram lost his tag? When our sheep lose a scrapie tag, we replace the tag and record the new number on their registration paper along with the date the tag was changed.

The owner on the paper(not me) has to take a photo of the sheep with the new tag in the ear, pay the fee and send in the papers to be updated.

Don't have the space for 4 breeding groups, so it's kind of nice and I wanted to find a small white ram in the future.

Rosalina just sold!
Moved her and Tifa over to the yard for weaning, gentling and lead training.
