2023, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Removed and placed tposts up by the driveway, same with the fencing mesh. Need to pound them in, then add fence back on. Then measure area of pasture under arena & the widened one, to possibly redo the dividing fence to make them equal again. All preferably before October 30th, as I have to catch the ewes and split them up by the 1st of November!

Sorry about your dog. 14 years is a good life for a dog, but not long enough for us.

I know it is "almost hot" out there, but working in this short sleeve shirt weather is sure nicer than the 50's and cold wind blowing. Hope you manage to get it done the next few days while the weather is cooperating...

I work pretty hard some days, but what you are doing is just plain HARD WORK.....

Clearing the mess & trees.

That sure is a pretty landscape.

The heat spikes actually slow me down a lot. I don't do well with temp swings.
I'm still not done, lots of things slowing me down.
Hoping to be done tonight and move sheep tomorrow when they go to the track for shade. But still not done with the horse track to get them out of the way. Ugh.

Finally got the pasture fences up.
Moving sheep out tomorrow!
Horses have to wait again. Need another roll of tape. Lol. Very long track!

FINALLY got the sheep split up into their 3 breeding groups.
One ewe lost her tag, so she's kicked out with the non-breeders until I retag her.

But Riachu, 0123, is missing! Wasn't with the others when rounded up and split off. Wtf.

Utv won't start in the cold, so can only search by foot once I've taken a break. Splitting sheep by hand is exhausting.

Sorry about your missing sheep, I hope you find her.
