Coffee anyone ?

Really sad that the dog killed the lamb, big loss for you. Good that the LGD's gave her hell. I hope she learned her lesson.

I think some LGDs go through a war of instincts at a certain age. Then they are schooled and or outgrow their prey drive. This dog lived mostly on a short chain with intermittent jail breaks to run the woods. She probably learned to feed herself. I’m confident she’ll come around.

Our dog killed a few chickens before we trained him not to... hasn't killed a single bird in over 10 years now


We never did get good with him and floppy goat ears.... had to watch him .... he was fine with other goat ears, and with the kids.

I knew she was going to be a challenge and while I hate losing lambs, it’s part of the deal sometimes. The lamb had overslept or not paid attention and missed the flock leaving the pen for the pasture. Panicked and probably ran (I was in the house- morning coffee had announced its exit strategy) and running lamb became second breakfast. LGDs arrived and punished. Good job boys. On a side note it was 85 degrees in DFW today. Weather, hoo boy.

I guess he preferred the LaMancha look?

Woke up at 12:30 not making coffee at this hour! Got a bowl of cereal, doing some catch up reading and ready to go back to sleep.

Today I will work my stores for the week. Yep, one day. I'm liking it because next week is 100% different! Jobs cover every day, all week. Dates to do won't allow me to move and level out into a different week. Oh, well....it's how life goes. . Just move farm jobs around. Still way better than a 9-5er.

Lovely coffee. Enjoying relaxed morning. Even slept until 7. . Weather says we get rain, maybe 1/2 inch...spread over 3 days. Geesh. One and done seems a better plan. But Mother Nature likes to make her own schedule, just like me. I understand.

Checked over goat udders and bellies yesterday. Most will twin, it appears. One looks like she may trip again -- never know until it happens. Two I thought didn't catch are looking like they did. Hope so, more hay money always helps. . Nice to have beautiful weather for a group pasture walk. It was warm and sunny. The hens felt a need to lay eggs. I believe Spring is coming! Plum tree has some blooms opening, too. That may be a touch early but, there they are! Apple trees budding, too. It's happening folks -- SPRING sneaking in

I’m alive now. Woke up an hour ago, did my 20 sit ups and stretches for the back of my leg muscles. Due to knee pain, I tend to take short choppy steps, so the muscles tighten up. I’ve been averaging 3 1/2 miles walking per day, all in a small space, walking back and forth, unloading, unpacking, and building pens.

Howdy, cold day here, hoping we will make it to a positive temperature today. Got a big test, so big day. But cold days like today make me miss my chores a little less.

He was fine with Saanen ears too.



Luckily he didn't try to turn our Nubian into a LaMancha... just nipped/pricked them a bit.
