Gawd, the year continues to get worse!

Eloise's lamb was completely covered in maggots!! Even in her nose. 2nd case of fly strike I've had.
Bathed as much off as possible first, then soaked in fly spray and waited. Then rinsed those off.
Then more fly spray and towel dry.
Hoping she'll pull through. Will give her another bath and spray tomorrow. Living in the barn now.

Poor baby! It’s a good thing you got to her and got her cleaned up. Hope she makes it. That’s just horrible.

Mowing brush, sheep aren't just grazers.


Leaf blower to remove sheep poops.

What spray do you use? I just use the horse stuff. Is there a different one that works better.

That's what I used. Red bottle of equine fly spray.

Ugh. Turkeys decided it was time to fight...dog was super confused.

Took down two fence lines from the original 4 acres.
Put those in by hand, alone, several years ago, for my sheep. Now I'm removing them to install elsewhere, by hand, alone, for my sheep.
Farmers do a lot of work for their stock, and it's rarely easy or fun!
Just have the ends to remove.
Next decent day, I'll work on the other fences that made up the 7 paddocks & the aisle.
Grass is finally growing in.

24hr timeout seems to of worked.
