Whelp, things have changed around here lately. After much consideration & planning we decided to quit goats & focus on my sheep & alpacas. It was hard but I secretly liked my sheep more :hide

We also got rid of the rabbits, Aaron ended up not liking the meat and it was just not my thing I guess.

But we will be expanding on our sheep soon, looking into the electrical fencing to rotate them in the front field during spring & summer and I THINK one of my ewes is pregnant, but I am not even sure.

Been having problem after problem with my Jeep & last night it finally keeled on me :barnie I got out of class, an hour away from home at 9 pm & the starter just quit. Nothing like sitting in a dark parking lot alone for an hour until a tow truck came then not getting home until 11:30pm :he
Boy do I hate this thing right now!!!

My nephew held a sign that said "Say yes mommy!" :love

Hope everyone else is doing well & hope to be able to come back on more, my legal studies are draining me lately, heh :sick

And here's my sweet Nibblet, he is such a baby :love Oh, don't mind the neanderthal in the background :lol:

It is so good to hear from ya. I was wondering just the other day how things were going for ya. I just figured after the patent getting y'all were assessing the options. If sheep is where your heart is, it only makes sense and it is you that ya have to please....no guff coming from this goat owner, for sure. I'll have to take your word about the law stuff, because it always gets a yawn out of me, either reading or hearing about it because it sounds Greek to me. I do miss seeing ya around, but it is understandable with the studies and all. Sorry about the jeep, and hope ya can resolve the issue, whether with a better vehicle or repairs don't gouge ya too much. Have ya done any further work on the place...your silo, or set-up or such?

Nice to hear from you lady. Sorry the studies are overbearing right now... I couldn't imagine being in the legal field as they are always practicing because they can't ever seem to decide on what's "right" and what's "wrong"... Check the laws next month and they'll have changed... There are so many laws now that if you look you'll find a contradictory one someplace. Sorry about the jeep too... They don't make them (or really basically most things) as well as they used to. Everything now has a planned obsolescence. Manufacturers want it to break on schedule so you have to buy a new one from them or they can plan on selling replacement parts.

Happy that YOU are happy with your sheep and have decided to focus there. Less animal breeds means less stress for you and more pleasure since you'll be working with what you like the best! Life is good in some ways :D Grats to your sister. Hope they'll be very happy together.

Glad to see you back, even if it is without goats. :p I was thinking about an invention the other day which made me think about you and your boyfriend. You say that is is very smart and creative so here is an idea.

There needs to be little necklace or anklet that a person can put on a chicken and then a collar that a dog wears and the idea is that the dog gets a shock when they get too close to a chicken. Let me know when you guys make a fortune on my idea. :lol:

Sorry about the jeep. I have been in that place, fortunately not recently.
