77Herford Farm Zoo Journal Moving

[TTs Chicks]

It was humorous to watch as the Collie's jumped my fence into the Sheep pen and then upon seeing nearly 200 pounds of Butch charging their way with his low deep bark and then coming from the south another beast dog Sundance, the Collies wasted to time getting the bleep out of there.
I think the Collie's learned their lesson and won't be coming back. It was an impressive site of teamwork from the two Masstif's..

Good Dogs!! I would have loved to have seen the look on the collies faces when they saw Butch and Sundance

SO tired but really need to meet the doctor at 10 am. Need to stay awake, ugh. Not to mention stay awake on the drive over.

On the other hand the remaining bunny babies are doing good.

Will seperate the lambs either tomorrow or this weekend depending on my energy level. Oh and cull a few ewe's.

Found a home for the stray cat so thats good.

Seperated the lambs and four dorper crosses were culled.

I think I'll stick with Boer wethers for the future as there is a few places nearby were I can get a steady supply and one has agreed to ban them before sending them over which just takes care of some extra work for me.

Going to get a tooth pulled next week so I'm off the blood thinners for now until that happens.

Had a bad Sinus/Tension Headache tonight hope it stays away.

We really need some big snow storms for spring melt other wise were looking at a drought. This has been one of the oddest winters yet for me. I haven't needed my winter coat yet or my coveralls.

Weather is strange here too. It was 55 degrees last night. I am still having trouble with worms and cocci and it is January.

I hope you get your medical issues resolved soon. It sucks to be in pain when you have to work.

Feel better soon. I can't even blame you that you gave me your cold. Wait yes I can if I do it by association
It's your fault I have a cold

It was almost 70 degrees here yesterday. I took advantage of it and had the kids outside playing. No jackets needed! I hate cold weather but this odd weather is ridiculous. I am betting if it continues we are going to have an awful spring/summer.

 

[77Herford]

Just had a short burst of nice big flakes of snow but it stopped.

Ended up selling my culled ewes to some interested Hobby Farmers so they were saved for now. The Sheep wether lambs will start fattening up.
The Pigs, I swear are enjoying the colder weather as they sleep in huge mounds of straw/hay that keep them cozy and warm. Sometimes they may wait a couple of hours to come out and eat as they are some comfy, lol.

Moved friends horses over to another large pasture as some are too pushy with the cows at the hay. I put Sugars half sister in with our horses and a couple of her foal mates she ran with as a foal (if you wondered what a Foal mate was).

Ok, taking a nice comfy shower this afternoon when I suddenly see a little orange blob staring up at me...HOLY BLEEP.

What do you know its Twinkle the wonder rabbit, looking up at me with droplets forming on her coat.

Then I hear my evil wife laughing in the hallway as I yell for her to get her blasted animal.

She comes into the bathroom and retrieves said rabbit while still laughing as I give her the stink eye but I give her a nice spray from the shower head before she leaves, which gets me the satisfaction of a nice girly scream. (I take cool showers )

She responds by yelling at me a moment later as she had on a nice blouse that she was going to use for an interview today.

I had no idea she had an interview so how could I know, right.

She then disappears for several minutes and just when I'm getting done, WHACK! She nails me with a 5 gallon bucket full of ICE COLD WATER from the horses trough.

Lets just say some expletives were said and I had to reshower.

She was long gone by the time I got out and lets just say she will pay.
