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.

You got lucky getting the last panel!
These past few months, every time I need something at TSC, it always seems to be the last one :hu

91F
They didn't come willingly...
Thought I'd pass out. Surry got away from me, whacked both hands/fingers, inner wrist scraped up and hit my head on a tree trunk trying to catch her again.
I hate high heat and humidity mixed with unwanted lady issues and uncooperative anythings!
I need to have people catch their own sheep...
Need to sit in front of the AC for awhile before they arrive and I have to wrangle them again...:th

Last to go is Kolar(72, formerly Tarzier. I forgot what I had named him and sent in a new name for registry. Whoopsies), Marley, Chocolate and Guinevere, up to New York!
I'll be rounding them up tomorrow and pickup will be Friday morning.

Weather is supposed to be 75, 66 & 76F this weekend.

Will be rounding up everyone else Friday for toe trims and coat measurements! Gonna buy coats from the person I've bought from before. Mine seem to get ruined faster...
Then, split everyone into their breeding groups!

Sorry you got hurt!
High heat/humidity is a killer :(
I have a sheep question for you...how often do Babydoll's need to be sheared?

Got the 4 rounded up!
Ready for mid morning pickup.
Marley is in standing heat, buyer approved, been bred several times already. Chocolate was standing and being bred, until Marley and Guinevere went into the pen. Guinevere is bossing him around, didn't see her interested in him any.

4 sheep are being picked up tomorrow, Saturday, instead. Buyer confused days. :\

Left for New York!

Got a few metal spliter spigots and metal float valves. Should be enough to finish the paddocks' needs. I am one hay panel short, though, but using dividing fenceline for them to share.

Final posts will be on how dinner lambs turned out and last 2 ramlings selling eventually.
