Great on the wethers, no on the flat tire. But y’all still made it to auction in time, despite the flat tire so that’s a good thing. Hope they bring a good price.

I had fun attending the auction this morning. There were some nice registered Dorper rams and ewes. They went ~ $160 ewes and $360 ram.

Overall prices seemed about $50 lower than last week. My three wethers sold for $110 each.

Discount Tire was able to fix both rear tires. Left rear was off bead and had a hole, cause unknown. Right tire had a screw in it. Cost ~1.5hrs and $0. I love their road hazard warranty.

We use them as well. Great service.

I used their 6 months no interest credit card on buying my truck tires. I bought 2, paid them off, then bought 2 more. I’ve patronized Discount Tire for years.

We have one here that I use. Free alignment with 4 tires and no interest pay out, also.

Worked GREAT on "free" trailer tire repairs! Love free!!

I was able to get work on sheep stuff done today. I got a rafter up and started the conversion to hard PVC on sheep water.

I got weighs on the young sheep in my flock.
Coconut is 57.58lbs at 187days old. That is 0.28lbs /day. I guess that is okay with all her troubles. I'm considering putting her with the show sheep on hay and grain.

GWR2415 single ram lamb is 34.52lbs at 29days old. That is 0.81lbs/day.
GWR2416 Gwynn white twin is 23.08lbs at 28days old. That is 0.55lbs/day.
GWR2417 Gell brown twin is 21.56lbs at 28days old. That is 0.54lbs/day.
I am VERY happy with those numbers.

Camera planning. I really, really want working cameras at sheep shed. Husband got different wifi broadcaster but it is still not running cameras well. The solar panel is running lights just fine. The property is 450ft wide by ~1500 long.

Here is distance for planned runs, the orange spot is our power meter station. It has a conduit buried to house which is were fiber internet is landed.

They also don't know how far these cameras can be placed, they might search online max distance and get around 300', but don't realize I also have PoE switch's, routers and PoE++ repeaters that allow me to go around 1.2 kilometers. They think they are smart and parking far away then getting out to walk, they have no clue.
PoE Power over Ethernet good for up to 15.4W which I use Cat6E
PoE+ Power over Ethernet good for up to around 30W
PoE++ Power over Ethernet good for up to around 60W
UPoE Ultra Power over Ethernet good up to around 100W

Husband is looking at a Reolink system and did talk about extenders but that's the limit of my knowledge...
