Yeah, I would just now be listing the farm, and it closed several weeks ago. I’m happy, the new farmers are over the moon happy and they will take the farm forward and make it even better. @Farmer.Rexi said there is a pond now! I wish I had known that, I would have gone to look at it. But I was barely moving, limping on both sides, not even Advil did me any good. So I didn’t go strolling around. That just means when I go back, they can give me a guided tour and show me what they’ve done. Maybe it will rain in the next couple of weeks and put water in it. If it’s where I think it is, there is a gully behind the horse barn. When there is a lot of rain, there are seeps there. Not a spring, but seeps, where water kinda oozes out of the ground.
Today my plans include sitting around a lot…..but there is all that stuff in the back of the truck……and I need to build a 2 cowpanel hoop hut for the ewes……and I need to drag over 2 horse panels to Trip and Carson’s pen, plus that cut off piece for a gate, to make it bigger….. I need to get that done before I leave on Friday. Sigh…….

Yeah, but you know I’ll have to do SOMETHING! Maybe not much, but something. I also need to get in a shipping container and rearrange stuff to make room to park the mule in it, out of sight.Friday is a week away!! Rest today....then you'll be ABLE to consider walking again.

How is that sand (the stuff you called soil at that farm) going to hold water? Maybe a bunch of bentonite?

Exhausted again, knees hurt. Rain expected in next few days. Ewes have a 2 cow panel hoop shelter. I let them out to graze while I worked. Dogs ram wild, settled down and hung out with me.

Nova, triplet daughter of Miranda and Ringo, bred back to Ringo, had twin ewe lambs. A beautifully brown spotted lamb had such a wry neck that her head was turned backwards and wouldn’t go straight. Her front legs were splayed out. She was dying. I did what I had to do and buried her.
Nora, triplet, had twin rams several weeks back and I lost one of them.
The last triplet to lamb is Tiny, bottle baby because she was so small, frail and weak. Tiny grew into a beautiful ewe, waiting on her lambs. Dear Lord I pray for twin ewes, that both live. But I guess I’ll take what I get.
The good news is I have one ewe lamb to add to the other 4 that I am keeping.

It makes me sad, but I have to count my blessings. I’ve lost 2 lambs, but I have some real nice ewe lambs that are keepers.So sorry for the little lamb and so sorry for you to have to deal with it.
