Well damn... 
Sorry to hear. Do you have any fertile eggs you can incubate to perhaps replace him from?

Sorry about the birds. Yep, time to finish that fence and get a good hot wire running over the top. The neighbor's dogs will think twice after the first jolt.

I gave my last batch to a friend to eat wasn’t planning on replacing any this year. Go figure
He’s agreed to replace them though

Yeah... luck seems to work that way sometimes. Can't always have serendipity... Would make life boring. Least you can get them replaced. Nice to have a neighbor who takes responsibility for his errors. Glad he's gonna make it right for you.

That sucks. At least the neighbor is replacing them. He needs to keep his dog up or it might get a bad case of lead poisoning.

I had a dozen new dropped ducklings come pouring out of the woods today, across my long drive and into the yard. some went under the house till the cat spied them.
I'll be surprised if even 1-2 make it to the pond over the next 24 hrs.

Well decision time. I have an opportunity to get two skinny ewes with their lambs for a reasonable price, or get a skinny ewe and a ram. Add those to my yearling ewe I can either have 5 sheep or 3. Not sure which to go with, putting it all to pencil and trying to think this all out reasonably.
Good luck whichever way you choose to proceed.

Are the lambs ewe or ram lambs? Ewe lambs would grow your flock rather quickly.

Sex of the lambs makes all of the difference in your choice.
