Saw alot of lamb and dog cuddling today. Rolley helped lick off some newborn lambs today, it was pretty funny as the mothers would give a disgruntled baaaaa and he'd just continue. Butch and Sundance take a more laid back approach as they sniff the new lambs, patrole a bit and then continue to sunbath. Rolley tries to be an uncle to them all.

Broke down and made me some Italian dinner/breakfast. Some mis-shapen Raviolis stuffed with beef and spices. A nice thick tomato based sauce with a tall glass of cold milk and homemade butter and quarter loaf of bread. Oh and lots of Parmesion cheese.

Sheep are dropping Lambs with lots of triplets. Mother sheep are doing fine taking care of them.

Oh and my Turkeys are looking so nice. The Royal White Palm's are so pretty. I hope they taste good too. I will be keeping one of the Tom's and probably two of the hen's.
I'll be keeping them in and old storage shed which once held an old tractor and junk but once I moved in I cleaned it all out down to just dirt. They have food, water and roosts. I have put of bird wiring cage six feet high, six feet wide at the entrance at the building and widens out to twelve feet wide. It goes out about thirty-two feet. Its all enclosed if you are confused as I know Turkeys can fly even if it is a short distance.

Still looking for a good ratter dog but I'm wittling it down.

Congratulations on the new filly!! Be careful with Rolly cleaning the lambs. My Jack does this with kids and sometime the babies get sperated from the mommas and the mommas can't count.
