Woke up to snow this am, still snowing now, :th , Went to farm where babies are being born to check everyone, snapped a few photos on the way there, well the ewes aren't going to give me that break I need, several born in the snow, set of Triplets in back lot, momma trying to get them clean, appears one is dead, sac still covering the face, front lot momma with new baby as I can see the umbilical cord hanging, looks like second one snug under hay bale, I won't go close so I don't make them nervous and make those little cold lambs try to keep up with momma if she tries to run, So I stayed back to get a few photos, dogs seem to like it, as they love the cold, these are 3 of the 6 at this lambing farm. Just one more thing to deal with with DH gone, Ellie May taking weekend off, as I will have daughter home from school to help today, Think I will wait until later to tag/weigh, I need to let new babies get that important colostreum in them. Snapped a few pictures of the house on my way back home, that roof is supposed to be black, UGH, !!!!!!!


Ellie May and I took a Photo for Straw Hat last Night will Post later Keep a look out for it (straw);)

Snow here too this morning when I woke up...all winter not one flake of snow..now in March we get some? Strangee weather. Up to 33 degrees now and it's melting already and dripping off the roof of the house.

Those ewes are just not going to catch you a break and give you a bit of a time out, are they? You must be ready to drop already!!!! Eat well, stay warm, and don't get sick! :hugs

Nice pics of your place in the snow.
We had a light blanket of snow this morning, too.
It's noon now and it's all melted. :rolleyes:

I got on this forum a month or so ago. I didnt think that I would enjoy it at all when I got on. Since, I have met a lot of really nice people, with some great stories, some real problems, and some great information. Thats why it was hard for me to make this decision.

Goodolboy has decided to leave this forum. I am too old, and busy to put up with the petty stuff that is going on here. I just dont have the time to invest in something that a few people are trying to ruin. The Mods have their work cut out for themselves on this forum. They will never make everyone happy on here, but they will need to decide what they want this to be. There are a lot of great people on here. Its just a shame that a few bad apples can ruin the whole batch.

I could stay on here and try to ignore it but sooner or later it would all come to a head and I would post something I would regret. Its better to get out before that happens. If I have ever offended anyone on here I would like to say Im sorry. I am a bit of a cut up, and its hard to get jokes across on here sometimes. After this post I will not log back on to this forum, so there is no reason to respond to it.

Anyone that would like to stay in contact with me can reach me through my website. Questions, advise, sheep inquires, or just to say hi, all are welcome.

I would like to send out special thanks to Straw, Southern, bon, RTG, SheepGirl, Bridge, and Royd. All of you have great knowledge and are a real asset to this forum.

See ya, from down in the hills, goodolboy(Jeff)
