Baymule’s 2024 Lambing plus 12-23

[Ridgetop]

one of Ringo’s ewes had the water bucket hanging around her neck.

I use the cheap buckets from laundry powder in the jugs. The lambs started dumping them.

I use cheap carbiners to hook handle to fence.

The caribiners won't fit n the jug bars and couldn;' use zip ties since I need to dump and rinse the buckets every day or two. I had given away most of my equipment when the kids graduated from 4-H but found some of the 6" leashes they used for Boer goats in the showring. I looped them around the jug bars and pulled the clip through the leash loop to clip on the buckets. Only have 5 so not sure what to do in Texas. LOL

I use loop of hay bale string around wide items like 2x4. Knot tight to object then tie again making a loop. Carabiner hooks thru loop of string and bucket handle.

Our wonderful hay string!!! My farm has it everywhere! Heck, there's several sections in car trunk and under truck seat...ya never know when you need it!

 

[Ridgetop]

Me too! At one point everything on our place was held in place with hay ropes! Very colorful too! LOL

Yesterday, Sentry got promoted. He is now the guardian of the ewes and lambs. He’s in Heaven.

So I guess Sheba kinda got demoted, she is in the middle field with Buford.

But I got this cute picture of Sheba with Ruby the bottle lamb all snuggled up to her.

That picture is a keeper.

Not demotion, just reassignment to a new tour of duty! LOL

I’ve come up with a name for my black and white spotty third generation ewe.
Galaxie 100
