2023, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Some more went out. Clefairy & lambs will stay in longer, one seems a bit weak for freedom.

Waiting on these....


Laying around, trying to get grass through the fence.


Fatties arguing over...nothing.



Mom's w/lambs. So many now that I need to feed them in the fenced off area or be trampled.

The ewes put themselves on a tight schedule this year. 26 ewes lambed out in 16 days!
The most to lamb in the shortest amount of time I've had as of yet. Which is stressful, but nice for most of it to be over.
About 6 mature ewes that are supposed to lamb, with one looking not bred.

I wish there was a home instant blood test for sheep pregnancy. Instead, there's a urine test and I'm not holding onto each sheep for who knows how long until it pees...There's also a blood test you can ship out, but I'd have to ship overnight and time collection and not mess up.

Could you have a vet come out, run them through a chute and do an ultrasound?

Vet...US...$$$.

I have about 6 urine tests here and SURE wish I'd had one yesterday, in my hand, as one peed!! . Might carry a couple today.

Took down a few jugs last night & finally put panels around the bale. So annoying how wasteful all animals are...Pure slobs.
The hot mess vs the other bale that was fenced from the start-

Finally fenced. At this point, its just going to prevent it from flopping over.

Table manners are definitely out the window! Drop it, pee and poop on it, then bawl for more!

 

[secuono]

Didn't think I'd have to fence off poop...but here we are... Shyt-bed, anyone?

 

[secuono]

Got the creep feed area up. Everyone else tried to break in.

Caught someone testing out big sheep food


And this guy ripped up his ear and lost the tag. Haven't had babies do this before.
