You are getting halter monitor today. Now you an get some answers and doctors can see what’s going onStupid heart went from mild pain back to seriously bad. This time the single lead ECG looks normal except that I'm laying down and pulse is going 78-110.
Halter monitor is tomorrow.Something shows up.
Your pond has almost disappeared. In your present circumstances hiring a track hoe to dig it out is the last thing on your list. Put it on your someday list.

I HATE being sick!!!! It is nice out, only 74F at 8am. I normally would be up early and work on farm before it heats up. Then take a nap during midday and repeat.
Today, the approx 10 min slow walk to sheep shed and back to get sheep to graze home acre did me in. I'm all trembly and sweating buckets like I've been working for hours outside.

Put all that in your notes. It could be a key to finding & fixing the problem you obviously have. That's scary & I'm only reading it 
can you even navigate in your house without these episodes? This is serious -- like YOU don't already know

I’m worried about you. Praying for a diagnosis and treatment.

2024 Mid-Year Update
Growth:
- Born 14 lambs from 8 ewes (6 ewes, 8 rams). That is really good 1.75 lamb per ewe considering first fresheners.
- Purchased ewe: Scarf
- Keeping ewe lamb Socks out of Oreo
- Second livestock guardian dog on property in March
Loss:
- Lambs died natural causes (ewe: Dottie's stillborn, Sesame, ram: Righty). Not as great 21% mortality rate but small herd size screws numbers.
- Predator loss 4 (ewe: vanilla, wethers: 2403, Big Twin, Panda
)
Profit:
- Sold 2 registered ewes: Cocoa, Cinnamon
- Sold 3 ram lambs for meat
- Potential sales: registered ewe Coconut and 3 lambs for meat.

Cinnamon is doing great here and loves being scratched anywhere. 
I lost 1/3 of my lamb crop.
. Ram lambs and damaged ewe lambs are going to auction this coming week.

My numbers are about the same if go by 2023-2024 school year, adding in Aria's twins and Cinnamon. Total lamb loss is 7 of 17 or 41% plus Panda. Bad years suck!
