Babies? What are the chances?

Ahhhh, you may have a point there... I'm south of Houston. The heat this summer has been brutal and it did have an effect on my goat kids. (We had too many days where the heat index was in the triple digits.) They spent more time trying to find a way to stay cool than trying to feed. In fact, I had two sets of kids who had respiratory issues from the heat and humidity. They had to be brought inside during the hottest part of the day until they got stronger. Their growth rate, compared to earlier kids, has definitely been slower.

Since she is my first sheep I'm anxious to see how she comes along. But.... being an only sheep- she does seem to miss her own kind.... hmmmm sheep math?

You need another sheep for her for sure!!!! Warning...the more sheep you get...the more you will want

Oh no... I was afraid of that!

Yes...it is true...sheep are gentle and loving animals...well...except for a bad ram...and yes...addictive! Seriously, you will love having them. We have no regrets and enjoy them so much

Are we making a profit from them??? Nope...have they improved our quality of life??? YES!!!!! Nothing like sheep and lamb therapy when things are going wrong...love mine soooooooooooo much...now get out there and get a sheep friend, ya hear???

Sheep are like Lay's potato chips... you can't have just one!
