Yes that's the one! I haven't been home so I couldn't actually look at the wheel.

Hi everyone! So I have finally convinced my dad for my birthday sheep that he has owed me for a while now. I was so close to getting the ewe lamb from craigslist, however the owner has someone coming to look at her and from my experience that means look for other options. So I think I will be adopting two ewes from a local rescue. These sheep aren't anything out of the ordinary. They are katahdinX's and they are 1-2 years old. They all have been checked by vets and are up to date health wise. I will not post any pictures until it is official, but hopefully you will be seeing some new faces in my journal soon!

Here's my project for today, leveling out this stall. Previously for the pigs I got my work cut out for me. But the sooner I do this, the sooner I can get my new sheep.

I should clarify, I just leveled out the spots where the pigs rooted that could cause injury.
In other news we just sent the adoption application to the rescue.. It was so hard, I was afraid I would say something wrong. The application is more towards dog and cats so it was like
There's this one part on the application where it asked about all the "pets" we have owned in the past 5 years(including deceased
) it was really tough to answer so we just said that these animals are livestock, which isn't a lie. They also are going to call our vet and ask questions, and if anything was told untruthfully it wont be good. I'm really nervous they won't accept the application, buut as always they probably will and that's just my anxiety getting to me.

OK... rant time based on your anxiety...
IMHO, most of these "adoption agencies" are a scam/joke/nightmare... They expect you to go through the third degree to "adopt" a pet/animal that would otherwise end up where? They treat you like you're the animal abuser!
And then they charge an arm and a leg for mongrels/mutts, most with no ancestral history, when you could go through less hassle and less expense to just go buy a pure bred animal or another animal of your choice without all the hassles. 
And of course if you run a farm and want to breed the animals, they won't allow it (primarily dogs and cats) and require spay/neuter. I feel bad for all those animals, but I won't go through what most "adoption agencies" require for a questionable animal at twice the price.
I will check into the pyr rescue network (in TX) that has been discussed here in the threads when I get to TX and when the time comes. Only because from what I understand they don't treat potential owners like explained above. However, if they are anything like the ones I've experienced, I won't deal with them either.
I refuse to be put through a background investigation to pay twice what an animal is worth and then be restricted in what I can and can't do with it.
OK, rant over... Now, I hope you'll get the animal you're trying for without too much (more) BS...
