These are the days that you will look back on and remember the fun you had. …….. about when you’re ninety something years old!

I second guess myself soo bad. Should I go with the plan I posted before (green lines) or angle the ram paddocks so both can go straight from night pen to field?
If I angle should I go with orange angle or purple? I think purple is better split of grassy area vs woods. But I'm going to be forestry mulching a lot of that sometimes soon...
Ugh, I overthink everything!!!!

Angle the paddocks so the sheep can go directly to the field.

Not there yet. Hahaha, she will probably drag it out to April 1. Sheep love a hood joke. April Fools!

Today is one of those cold damp Spring days. I layered up and got to work. Sheep are now fence into the "ram paddock" eating all the grass I kept them off last several months.
Alternating that will warming up inside and working on my business plan for the ranch. We REALLY need a skid steer so we can get fence, road, drainage, etc installed. But $$$ so hoping we can get a farm equipment loan to buy a decent used one and pay on it slowly.

Need to brag on Bruno. He's shaping up to be a great farm dog / general perimeter security. 
Last night Alijah and I moved equipment around after sheep were in night pen. We ended up leaving the main gate into farm and side gate open.
This morning, Bruno started barking his challenge bark then ran up to steps to bark again. I had him "Show Me!". He stood in the open side gate and barked at the neighbor with her dog in her yard across the street. He didn't leave our property. I rewarded him with lots of "Good boy!" and "We need to close the gate". I also said Hi to to neighbor and explained Bruno was alerting to the open gates. After I closed & wired things shut he inspected it then went off to play.

Got done typing that then realized I left out the funny part... I ran outside in boots, long johns, tie-dye shirt, no bra, and wicked bed head hair. Oh well...
