Baymule’s 2021 Lambing

[Baymule]

Why do you shave the bottom half is the ewe and leave the top unshaven? It looks funny but I think there is a reason to it.

Because my sheep are punk rockers and like mohawks. On holidays I spike their mohawks up in various colors and the local TV news stations come out and interview the sheep. I play heavy metal rock in the barn and the sheep dance hip hop and sing BAA!BAA! BAA! And the chorus goes I'M BAAAAAD! I'M BAAAAD!

You're not supposed to tell them that! You're supposed to make something up, like with lamancha ears.

How'd I do?

@Show Sebright i hope you have a good sense of humor. We joke around, everyone can always use a good laugh. The reference to Lamancha ears is that Lamancha goats have tiny ear flaps, almost thumb nailed size, which confuses people accustomed to long floppy ears. At shows and such, Lamancha owners get all kinds of questions about their lack of ears. Many have refined smart aleck answers such as “Ears are a delicacy. We cut them off at birth and fry them for sandwiches.” They say things like that just to see the look of horror on people’s faces. Dark humor. LOL LOL

Us sensible people got called out for our truthful answers by @rachels.haven so I had to come up with something silly. Just know we aren’t laughing AT you, but have included you into our BYH family. You get to laugh WITH us as an honored member.

@rachels.haven do you have pictures of Lamancha ears and long floppy goat ears to show @Show Sebright what we are joking about?

I'm not @rachels.haven but here you go. Lamancha on the left and Nubian on the right (both pics pulled from google images)

I thought y’all would like to see how we move the sheep. They have been in Pasture 2, up front and across the driveway. I put out their feed, call SHEEP! SHEEP! SHEEP! BJ opens the pasture gate and they can’t get to the barn fast enough. Even the lambs have learned to race to the barn.

Tiny and Panda did not join the mad rush. They stayed with BJ and he walked them down the driveway. He is charmed by their adoration.

When they got closer they ran to me and in the barn they went!
And that’s how we move sheep from barn to pasture and back to the barn in the evening.

Same here but I found out last year that doing that with 75+ sheep it can be hazardous to your health as that gate comes open.

You definitely gotta stand back to avoid getting knocked down. I have to put their feed out or they search frantically for a nano second, turn around and run back out. LOL
