Been in drought here in Texas too. First 6 months of the year was unceasing rains, to the point I had to leave my car at church up on the paved road and drive my Kawasaki mule to it. The rains caused an unprecedented parasite bloom and I lost 11 out of 31 lambs. It was terrible. Then the rain stopped. Months of sunshine and no rain. I’ve dry lotted my sheep, they are on feed and hay. I have gotten 2 1/4” of rain over 5 days, welcome relief but not enough to take us off the burn ban, not enough for the pastures to recover.

Things here are finally simmering down enough for me to truly check in here and what do I see but your update!! I've been wondering how you were doing. OH MAN that lamb is gorgeous! But we all know I'm into the eyecandy at the moment. LOL must be a phase in doing sheep. One more ewe to lamb here (I think she will) - all but one lambed this last week - while we had out of town people fly in stay and fly out to pick up their puppies. Great for them to see newborns.
DH had radioactive gold "seeds" implanted as well as radiation - it worked for him and that PSA # went way down and is staying there, God willing, it will stay there. That's since 2019.
So glad to see you back in whatever way you can be here.
