2020, Waiting on Lambs!

Getting a spark plug...hoping that fixes mower.

Also going out to get plastic pallets for hay storage. Still need to build the new hay building...

Another place is 60 per sample.
So we've got 18, 40 & 60.
With the two expensive ones doing hair pulls.

Which to choose. Lol

Got 20 heavy plastic pallets for hay!

This turd, she jumped the gate like a show pony!
Then I led her back a couple hours later and again, she jumped the gate from a stand still like an old pro!
Gate is about as tall as she is.

Gotta get this done, soon!
Not sure on sizing, though. Ugh


And going to move this section closer inwards to barn.
...ignore the mess...



And I got to put in supports & bump out the side walls of the barn to about a foot from roof edge. Get as much useable space as possible & enclosed.
No pics of that.

Hmm, maybe this instead.
Longer at 25ft, so door to hay can be an open hole & hay setback by 5~ feet to keep dry & allow air. Use a gate & cover it to keep some driving rain out & keep out animals. Dividing wall covered with plywood on bottom & mesh on top to stop animals from stealing hay. Leanto gets a gate inside & right side to keep storage items safe from animals. 10ft high, so some rounds could be stacked.

I named one of the Babydolls Raichu! Crud!

Caught everyone in the rotation and got them sprayed, measured & checked to confirm deworming worked on the ones that needed it.
Then did the same for the ones out in the backyard & one ram.
Just have 5 rams left to catch to spray & measure!


Guess who had a little ramling all on her own this morning!
First timer, 203
Weighed in at 7.79#
He'll be available as an unregistered ram or as a wether only.
He is currently the only lamb available.

And after treatments, onto new paddock!
Moved Kibito & the black Cali yearling out with them. Doesn't look like the yearling is bred, so no need for her to be eating extra.

The last 2 rams that recently sold got banded, too.

I believe that I'm going to order a universal microchip reader & chips, then chip all registered spotted lambs. Offer the chip to the other lambs at buyer's cost.
