Jacob Sheep-6 month update on our sheepies!

[Southern by choice]

Well, I didn't go see the buck, but Straw was kind enough to go with my DH and DD to do the assessment on the buck!
Thanks Straw
Pretty sure the buck was copper deficient, which I know can be easily fixed. The area is very copper/selenium deficient. But we took a pass. Really nice buck, at first I thought maybe parasites but fecal was good. I am very uneasy with any goat that is in a deficient area and has to have a bolus, because I think the up and down with anemia can lead to heart issues and weaken the immune. So no go on the buck.

Yes, I know this is the sheep section!

Soooo, today I am suppose to p/u the lambs. I will call around 10 and see if we are on schedule for the afternoon. I really hope so!
Rainy out, yuck!!

p/u today! why are there no dancing sheep? or goats?

Very pretty sheep! I've never seen one with such a long tail before!

 

[SheepGirl]

They are SOOO cute! Congratulations. The ewe looks like she may be that lilac color. She's got beautiful wool and I've never seen a color exactly like that before. It's so pretty! FYI my Lottie and her mommy Lily both have that blue brown marble eye. It's really neat.

And yeah, the tails are ridiculous looking. I wonder why they didn't dock them when they were born?

I love them.
