Baymule’s Journal

Cooper, his 7 girls and the dogs are out on the field. Ewe crew is in the yard. Lots of grass for them! Came in for a couple of scrambled eggs and glass of ice water. The Sweat Festival has begun.

It’s much more humid here than in Yantis. It’s a noticeable difference.
It’s 156 miles to Seabrook on Galveston Bay, 180 miles to Galveston,
120 miles to Baytown on Trinity Bay
As the crow flies, could probably shave off some of those miles. I’m real close to the Gulf of Mexico and all that humidity. Basically in 3 hours I could be in Galveston sticking my feet in the ocean.

You're trading one hot air for another.

Tiny did not lamb last night. She is huge!

Ewe crew is in the yard, happily grazing. Lambs have run, played and nestled in the grass for naps.

I just witnessed something extraordinary. Pinto only had one of her lambs and was baa baaing for the other one. She wasn’t distressed to the point of leaving lush grass to go look for the errant one yet, but was clearly worried. Carson was trotting from group to group and finally stopped about 10 feet from the sleeping missing lamb. He went into a slow calculated stalk. I watched, ready to scold if he got stupid. He stalked right up to the lamb and froze in a Labrador “point”. The lamb woke up and began to Baa baa, looking for mom. Carson followed from a respectable distance until the lamb and mom were reunited.

The slow stalk and point blew me over, what is so outstanding is Carson KNEW which lamb belonged to Pinto! Amazing!

Now for the clincher…. After finding Pinto and getting milk, the lamb SQUATTED to pee. A girl! I mis-looked and thought she was a ram! No! It’s a ewe lamb! I have 3 ewe lambs Update my number to 30 ewes! She is white with a brown splotch on her butt.

Oh my goodness! Carson just did it again! Cookie was looking for her lamb. I asked Cookie, “Where’s Ginger? Where’s your baby?”

Carson sprang up, looking worried, and checked out several lambs sleeping in the grass. He didn’t even get close before turning away. So I asked HIM, “Where’s Ginger?” I followed him. So did Cookie, still Baa baaing for her lamb. He alerted at the portable building, Ginger was under it! Cookie called and Ginger came out from under the building.

Incredible. Carson has put lambs and ewes together and knows who belongs to who. Incredible, just incredible.
