Yeah, looks more than affordable!

Bought!!🎉

Okay, now onto the nitty gritty!

☆ATTENTION LAMB BUYERS☆
As of May 2020, Microchipping is available for all lambs!

Please see the following information below-

•Once the microchips arrive, all current spotted lambs that are still on property will be chipped.

•Any black or offwhite lambs, that are still on the property when chips arrive, may be chipped at the buyer's request.

▪︎︎No chip will come registered. That is the buyer's responsibility, if they choose to do so. I am offering chipping as buyer protection & personal ID. If the sheep is resold, buyer can be 100% sure it's the same individual.
°The cost to register a chip is $26.95 per chip. This is for life. Each chipped animal will come with a Registration Card that will tell you how & where to register the chip.

▪︎Each chip is $7. There is no extra or hidden fee for the chipping process.

▪︎︎Rgistered spotted rams & ewes will come with chips at no additional cost!

▪︎Spotted wethers(castrated because of bad conformation or sold as pet) will not come with a chip. Buyer may request chipping.

▪︎Spotted ewes with bad conformation will be culled. Zero exceptions. No chip.

▪︎︎All other ram & ewe lambs(black & offwhite) can come with a chip at buyer's expense.

▪︎These chips are ISO certified & recognized worldwide. They can be picked up by any universal scanner.

This is the same system I used for the LGD puppies.

I like drawing these things, lol, just wish they were better.
Anywho, this would be the backside, closed in.
I think the right wall needs to be further to the right, but it's close to where it'd sit.

Yellow box would be enclosed on left side.

107, 113, 114 went to their new home!
But not before 107 made an attempt at a great escape! Popped out the crate & car and onto the road!
Luckily, he knew where home was & bolted to the house gate. When he went between a car & the fence, I managed to catch him as he tried to bolt over me. Lol

220 looked close to lambing yesterday.
Today, she had a 10.93# ram, dead, had to be pulled. Thought I'd have to get the vet out, as lamb was not coming easily whatsoever.
Now I get to watch an exhausted ewe & hope she's not injured. Ugh.
220 is as big as Piccolo, 2yr old, so wasn't expecting her to have issues. =/

Placenta came out, doesn't look like any missing bits. Eye color still red, drank water I brought her before and has gone out to graze, but prefers resting, obviously.

220 was out grazing with the others before dark. In a day or two, I'll move her out with the rest of the ewes and lambs.

As for the mom n baby, they'll stay put until the last two ewes lamb and the last born is a week+ old.
