Coffee anyone ?

May start tractor therapy today....certainly over weekend. Just happy the $400 in parts I ordered and installed fixed it. Disappointing I had newish battery dead then -- but all good now. The one solenoid was a ridiculous $234. Small little part! Controls fuel flow. That's important

It's cool out and very overcast but, they say no rain. Missing the sunshine! Had some cereal. Now coffee up!

If your property is big enough to have a buzzard buffet, then go for it. Downside is smell, and it will bring coyotes to your property. Best to dig a hole, lay the sheep to rest, cover with lime, then dirt. Done.

Too much flood plain. Land handles my small fatalities fine. On the bright side the dogs can find their way home (saw them on our game camera). Ram lamb was found and not a predator loss (still a former lamb ). Found another propane company. And the severe weather risk has been downgraded a bit. Yay!

Afternoon cup gone - but tasty! ️ with a few cookies. So this is driving me nuts…..
Hay. More like it …. Left over hay (alfalfa). I could fill a green bin a day with the stuff my sheep don’t eat. What do you all do with it?? We don’t over-winter things here like in the Midwest. I’ve got WAY too much. I just ordered a shredder to try and decrease the volume. help!!

They eat the goodies off and leave the rest. At $27 a bale ouch.

Which is why I use pellets for mines alfalfa. Compost it. Shred and see if they'll eat it then. Rabbits? They like stems.......drove me crazy with loss $$

I've been thinking of going all alfalfa pellets but I thought they need the "real" stuff. Yes? No?
I've been feeding alfalfa and some pellets.
What is a good approach to feeding?? In all the training flocks I've worked with all they got was alfalfa bales.
I'll see if the will eat the shred when I get it.

Nothing appeared wrong except death.

Leo my hero. Bad weather was early and I needed to move 50 sheep. He did everything right and quickly. No fuss. Good boy.

Oh yeah! My kind of dog!

I got him as a mutt my neighbor didn’t want. Figured he’d never be useful. I noticed some driving instincts coming up and reinforced them. Regardless of his Obivously mixed parentage he steps up. I think there’s Catahoula Leopard Dog involved but his hard curled tail is a
mystery. He works sheep, patrols and entertains Sophie. Good dog.
