2019, Waiting on lambs!

[secuono]

30 ewes grazing together for the last time. As 4 of them are to leave this week, plus they're being split up into breeding groups in a couple days.

88 & 83 go home tomorrow!

Couldn't tell until today that 88 is a nice, long ram. His early September picture didn't really show it.

IDK how people, nor I, chose before 7+ months old. They change so much!

Leggy

Typical

A little Long in the body?

Yup, long body, short legs!

Comparing 88 to his girlfriend, 83. Longer loin.

So annoying when sheep do this...
The ram immediately flops over when he reaches the end of the lead. The ewe bolts around like a spaz until she decides to flop and pretend to be dead.

Used a truck topper and an extra panel to house them overnight.

Love it, lol. Sheep playing possum!

Too cute playing dead!

Got the sheep into the crate and then it started pouring!
Gonna keep raining all morning.

Picked up right during a short lull in heavy rain. They're off to New Jersey! I think...

As for breeding season...
Heavy arse rain!!!
Looks like breeding season will be delayed a few days.
No way I'm catching sopping wet sheep in the mud!

You could send some of that rain my way

Matilda & Surry trade for Bayley happens tomorrow!

Currently waiting on 50 wood pallets to be delivered. Going to make a bunch of little shelters from them, or at least, will try to. Need to get heavy plastic to cover them with.

Pallet guy is a no-show...
Wanting to reschedule, now after I texted him, for Thursday.

Now waiting in 90F heat at TSC to chop up a goat panel to be used as 4 hay feeders!
Super slow place...



15min later, finally got my panel! Last one they had.
