Berries are hard, dry and more bluish.

OK - I took a pic of it with my phone --- my phone automatically does identifications of animals and plants. And we ~all know how accurate it is with my sheep and dogs (HA HA HA) - but with plants it seems to do ok.
The phone thinks it's either:
Chinese Privet or
Ehretia microphylla (also called Fukien Tea tree or Philippine tea tree.
My guess is the privet.

Privet it is and considered invasive. I wonder if the sheep will develop more of a taste for it.

Well, if your sheep are anything like mine, if they haven't really eaten it much then they probably won't.
I just did a quick search and it looks like it has mild toxic properties. Your sheep are smart!

"Privet, scientifically known as Ligustrum ssp., is a common hedging plant found in many private and public garden settings. Even though it's widely used, it is a mildly poisonous plant and may not be the safest choice to use around children, pets, and livestock. The leaves and berries of Privet contain terpenoid glycosides, which can cause extreme irritation to the hands and mouth, and digestive distress. "

Cut it down, spray stump with Remedy. I’d be careful even burning it. Could you cut it up in short pieces and bag it up for the trash? Unless your land is covered with it…..

Coffee is ready. Need to make a feed run this morning. Need to make a run through Walmart too. I’d rather just stay home, but gotta go.

Few plans. Dentist closed until Monday....guess no replacement for temp crown I apparently swallowed between 1 & 5 yesterday. Just eat and drink very mindfully! . Maybe perms will be there Mon, will be 10 days. 2nd one still in place.

Having coffee, considering breakfast and chores. Would like a hot, buttered biscuit. Not wanting to mix and bake tho. Better change my wants. Maybe oatmeal

Foggy and misty out, 60*.... they say rain at 4ish. Maybe 1/2". Will plan feeding accordingly. No New Yr plans around here. Just another day.

My New Year will consist of watching fireworks on TV.

There’s lots of it. Looks like it’s been there since Pluto was a pup. It’s an understory to some very large oaks and pines growing out of a ravine. Nothing looks broke so I don’t think I’ll fix it.
