2023, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Thought I got them all back in, but they're mia this morning. Ugh. So annoying.

Dug up a regular tarp, since they hate the other one.

Man, that buyer kept flip flopping more than a fish out of water! Wasn't sure they'd show up.

2-3 wethers scheduled to go tomorrow. If not, chopping block for any left behind.

Still have the 3 Babydoll ewes & 2 other breed ewes to move out.

Need to come up with next year's name theme. Going to keep very few lambs. I've run out of ideas...

2 wethers gone. 1 black one left.

I know they are small - but putting 3 in a dog crate - that's really small!

They don't live in there.

Listed the last wether. Will give him a week or so to find a new barn or be dinner.

LOL - I didn't think so - just a way to transport or whatever -- like ... a dog ...!

I'm not chasing sheep once buyers arrive and pass out while they chat for an hour. So, they go in roughly 20min before scheduled pickup.
It doesn't help that they mush together vs giving each other space. My dumb rabbits literally lay on top of each other and leave tons of open space unused. Sheep do it out in the open, too. Drives me nuts. Panting and looking miserable, but they refuse to stop cramming their faces up under the next sheep.....

HA - yup I get that. Same thing I do when I've got people coming to work dogs. I sort out who goes where and who's not going to be worked. The one and only time I didn't do that the person's dog went apeshi# outside the coral - causing a sheep to bust a cattle gate and get hurt.
LOL yours look cute in the dog crate!! And yeah - what is it about laying in a pile?? Mine do that as well. Must be a safety instinct or something.
