Coffee anyone ?

@Mini Horses do you reckon you'll ever get that boy raised? Maybe someday? Oh well, at least you can get some fence work out of him. Happy fencing!

Thanks for the coffee PA. I'm gonna go for my second cup. Taking my time this morning. Need to get chores done, then work on building a chicken tractor. Tomorrow rain and storms, somewhere in there we got to load ram lambs (5) and 1 ewe lamb to take to auction Saturday morning. We always load the evening before, since we leave out early and that would mean loading in the dark. Besides, anytime we are in a time crunch, things always go wrong. Loading them up the evening before gives us a little time to spare.

PA, I helped a friend roll out insulation in her Mom's attic one summer. It was done after we got off work, so the sun had been baking the attic all day. We wore long sleeves to keep the insulation off us, little good that did. We were so hot! But when we quit for the day and went down the ladder, the difference was astounding in the insulated areas. Well worth it. So I get it on insulation and hot weather, hope you get it all done before summer sets in!

Morning all, been a busy week here. Had a breakfast before school yesterday, and then ended up bringing my dog into my dad's office to donate blood for a dog who was bleeding quite a bit. Oh and we drained an abscess on a lamb after dinner last night. I am off to the feed store today, then school, and 4H tonight.

I have S L O W L Y drank my coffee this morning and had the luxury of not having to get up and going NOW to go anywhere, do anything or anything else on a time schedule. We've been running hard lately and I was ready for a little down time. That's over now, I gotta get dressed, do chores and start building a chicken tractor. At the rate I'm going, we'll be butchering the first batch, thus clearing out the present chicken tractor, before I get the 2 new ones finished, then moving batch #2 into the old chicken tractor. Poor dirty birdies, batch #2 really needs to get off the porch and hit the dirt for some fine chicken fun time before becoming dinner! LOL It doesn't help that I only have enough 2" 90 degree with side outlet fittings for one chicken tractor and I can't seem to find any more. The Lowes in Tyler says to have some in their online inventory, but I will call first to make sure that they really do have some before we go.

Haha Baymule, I’m over due to build a chicken tractor too; well a duck tractor.
Speaking of ducks, look who hatched this morning!

This one is destined for my friend, but I have two ducks sitting outside so hopefully I’ll get some ducklings from them!

I truly admire people who are fully prepared for animals BEFORE they get them......... I don't seem to have that trait.

Good day all. Had a short work day today. Mare was a pain. She needs a break, she needs worked over good. Debating on tuning her up, or unsaddling to give her a break after the last 3wks and working the filly.

 

[farmerjan]

Give her the break... she might not need to be worked over so much once she has a rest....ask me how I know.... had a few over the years.

 

[Baymule]

I vote give her a break. We all need it time to time.

 

[CLSranch]

I did give her the break. It was more of her skin condition than anything that made up my mind. It was a short day. We gathered 1 pasture that was next to the working pens, then put them out in their pasture. She worked harder walking back than she should have doing the whole day 3 times. Just walk She was acting like she's been eating nothing but alfalfa for the last month.
