I'm glad they're your sheep Mine do not get all that pampering...
Good luck with your lambing, mine just started!

Plywood went up to 100 a sheet, so, skipping it this year and just using the metal panels wrapped in tarp.

Weather is nice today with rain in the forecast the rest of the week. Ugh. Decided to split everyone up further while dry out.

Kicked the adult horses out of the easement. They don't use the shelter & have the pond to drink from.
Split the baby minis from the mature ewes into their own paddock. It connects to the easement, so, put a hay bale under the shelter. Then split the area in half for the minis to share the bale & a bit of the shelter with the yearling sheep.

Redid the feeding area.
Using one of the creep panels for the almost yearling ewes. The end gaps are 1/2" larger than the center ones. =/ Kinda annoying, since they all can't use the middle gaps.

1.5 weeks, roughly? Of 800# bale for 33 mini ewes.
Wonder if that's good or not.

Today was new bale day.

Then the big un!

Well, looks like I'll always be separating the lambs from adults!
They're doing lamb races at almost a year old!
Warning, tons of binky sheep pics ahead!

Dug up a 3rd goat trough to hang up. They didn't believe that there were more than 2 available to them. Lol
Still waiting on gravel, unbelievable how hard it is to get...

Your sheep are so cute!

Can I ask where you send sample for Codon testing?
