Still waiting on Frieza's buyer to get back to me on when they want to come for him.

Will be moving my 4 weaned keeper ewe lambs over by the house today. Will probably wait until late in the day though, getting hot out fast!

Got the 4th draft for this autumn's breeding groups done and another list of groups if I decide to separate the lambs into their own pen until spring. Since I retired Lolla and cannot trust any buyer to NOT breed her, I have to put her in her own paddock.

If I'm able to put up all my fencing for the 6 new paddocks before October, then Lolla and the lambs will have their own paddock for autumn & winter. But if I can't get it done in time, Lolla will live by the house and the lambs will be out with the adults in their breeding groups.

Krillin's group is for spot testing. If the listed lambs aren't with him this year, they will be next year.

Draft #4-
Sebastian with Piccolo, Lucia, Matilda, Mira & Juliana.
Michaelis with Marley, Vegeta, Periwinkle, Marshmallow, Tegan & Eloise.
Wooly Bully with Sugar, FatWrinkley, Patchie, Vanilla, Tatiana, Chocolate & Guinevere.
Krillin with Icarus, Yamcha, Shelly & Shenron.
Billy with Kibito, Ewenique, Latte, Surry, Addie & Majin.

Groups w/o lambs-
Sebastian with Lucia, Matilda & Juliana.
Michaelis with Marley, Periwinkle, Tegan & Eloise.
Wooly Bully with Sugar, FatWrinkley, Tatiana, Chocolate & Guinevere.
Krillin with Shelly, Vanilla & Patchie.
Billy with Ewenique, Latte, Surry & Addie.

You sound like me! Planning out cattle and goat breedings. DH hears me say that I need to update my spread sheet and hangs his head because he knows that I could stare at it for hours. (I’ve even got a tentative plan with potential offspring coded and written out through Fall 2020 on the goats.)

I have notecards with each sheep's info on them, lay out the rams at top and move around the ewe cards a hundred times until they are as diverse as possible genetically.
Have two sets of three generations of ewes, a handful of two generations and working on a few more of those.


The two youngest ram lambs. Need to tag n band the white one, he's awfully fast!
