So the day has finally come! Got these 2 ewes and the dark little ram (not sure on his breed but he was priced right and my wife was in love). One ewe and the ram are yearlings and I have another yearling ewe coming in a couple day! My three year old daughter is in love

Congrats on the sheep! The ram is a cutie. The ewes are a bit skinny, but I bet you know what to do about that. A little care, good feed and hay and they'll be looking good! What breed are they?

Can't resist a 3 year old. Our 3 year old grand daughter likes pink, so just build a chicken coop and let her paint it Pepto Bismol pink. I don't even like pink, but I sure painted a lot of pink! LOL

Keeping the women in your life happy is a really good thing! Age not to be considered... Grats!

Yeah they’re a bit skinny but thats what good feed is for. All the ewes are what we call range sheep, usually some sort of hamp/Suffolk cross. That’s actiall why these girls are a little skinny is they’ve been on winter range and just barely got brought in. The ram I have no clue on what breed he is, like I said my wife was in love and I thought he’d probably a good one to breed those yearlings to. If anyone knows what he is I’d be interested to know, I’m thinking he’s some sort of hairxwool cross.

We got random snow this morning that is pretty much melted now. But it still lead to some fun feeding my friends cows

 

[Latestarter]

More water for the ground! Life is good.

 

[High Desert Cowboy]

Yeah we’ve hit the point where any sort of moisture is welcome, rain or snow

 

[Baymule]

I am glad that I live where snow comes around every 3 years or so. It's fun, by the time it is a PITA, it is melted and gone.

If the moisture helps your land, then I am glad for you that it snowed.

As of this minute I have about 2000. 600 more coming tomorrow. This is my full time job I run a 5000+ sow farm and raise piglets to wean age (about 28 days). The choice gilts will go on to be replacement breeding sows and the barrows and other gilts will go to a nursery, finisher, and then to processing. And your correct @greybeard this tariff war is not going to do the pork industry any favors in the short run, but we certainly won’t be the only ones, farmers as a whole are going to suffer. From what I’ve been reading though it’s the soybean farmers who are really going to be hurting in all of this.
