2024, Waiting on Lambs! 🤞 *Happy Thoughts* They're Here!😍

My sheep aren’t ugly! I love all their different colors and that I don’t have to shear them. I don’t mind waking up early, I usually do anyway. Having to be up and at work all my life , waking up early habit has hung in there .

Auctions are fun, taking a friend with me in the morning. She’s excited, has never been to a livestock auction.

I have enjoyed your sheep threads. Are you going to keep any as pets?

Lost one of the seadra lambs. Dogs well fed this weekend.

A big one. All of the ones I put back out were great color. So, wtf!
Wasps were protecting it, so couldn't get close to try and find the ear tag to ID her.
Gawd, I hate farming!

I’m so sorry.

Sorry that you lost her. Is the coyote population increasing in your area? We are not hearing as many coyotes, but our black bear population has increased quite a bit here. Not usually too bad for the cows and calves, unless calving out in the big pastures....they will kill small newborn calves if they come upon them. One big reason we calve here at the barns where there is alot more human activity to discourage them from hanging around.
They are supposed to make a big dent in the deer population, killing newborn fawns... maybe that is why we are seeing so many bear, because the deer population has gotten to record numbers here...

2 wethers sold.
Pulled the last ram from sales until fattened back up. Same with any sale ewes.

Fossa moved out of sick pen and in with the rest of the sale ewes.
6 sick pen sheep moved to grass w/lgds.

3 ewes have a deposit on them. One needs all new/updated CORs because she ripped her tag out.
Should be picked up by mid November.


Gotta catch the rest of the flock and check them over. Been raining nonstop for 3wks. They're growing algae and I'm sure other things. Ugh.
