Tossed the 3 yearling & small rams out with the horses. Should of done that right after the shearer canceled. Idk why I didn't.

Filling the expecting ewes' troughs 2x a day and adding lots of water. To stop choke and make them feel more full.
Thursday, more hay will arrive.
Will have to do the same for the ewes with lambs starting tonight.
Been raining every other day. Grow, grass, grow!
The spotted eweling was nursing on her own today!
Thinking I'll move Patchie, Latte & lambs to communal living with Peri tomorrow. Then outside in a day or two afterwards.

Got a bit bored after spending all day outside. So, decided to make breeding groups, if Krillin sells.

Billy- Evangeline, Clefairy, Ewenique, Eloise, Sugar.
Mich- Piccolo, Saola, Juliana, Addie, Willow, Raichu.
Oreo- Lucy, Yamcha, Periwinkle, Lucia, Kakuna.
Mag- Vanilla, Shelly, Patchie, Icarus, Lapras.
Apostle- Fossa, Bayley, Latte, Hirola, Articuno.

Going to look if any store has sales on fencing & tposts to finally put up that 9th paddock!

Then, I'll see if it's possible to fence to the pond on two sides, where it'll keep sheep in, since the only option would be jumping into the water...
It'll be the 10th paddock and cross the pond overflow, be the back side of the arena area and use up that steep section of hill. I'll have to shorten the horse track to make it actually enclosed for sheep.

I'm waiting for my pallets to be available again.
Will use 3-4 of them per tree to protect them from sheep.
Need to find the best tree watering bags, too...
3 mulberry trees from the giant one I lost. And 12 willows from my other two trees.

Kakuna waiting for treats

Hired my sheep to do some mowing...lol

Edit.
Looks like it's cheaper to make my own out of bins & drilling tiny diameter holes.

Paddock number 9 will be up soon!!

Also got alfalfa for the sheep while I wait for Thursday hay delivery.
Tposts, fence roll and alfalfa all were price matched. Saved $24, gas & a 50min trip north.. Yippie!
