Just got busy with life.
Sweet lover girl Rosie died, really miserable experience there, we miss her sooo much. Her and my 15yr old dog girlie girl whom i miss so much i can't put into words got poisoned/toxic/bit? Vet couldnt tell us, charged me $150 to say they couldnt tell us. Going out to livestock is sad, every time because no giant white puffball appears from no where to greet you and see what your doing. Vets best advice for us was to not let our dogs outside....that's realistic. Stella was re-homed, Boss went back to my sister-in-law. So we are down to Issac, Kora and Lucas for dogs. We lost those two the end of July.
So updates:
Phoebe's boy died, he was layed on or rolled on, not sure which. This was when he was little still, i think i posted it dont recall.
A critter took off with cassiopia's Boy when he was less then 2 months old.
The most confounding thing is, Ivy was in the shop with her twins, doors all shut....they disappeared. Both twins they were there for evening chores then gone the next morning. We still have no clue what happened to them.
2 of 2 got beat the poop out of and died from her injuries a month ago, no clue who did it, no one was talking.
Cassiopia never recovered from her kid being taken, she never put on weight turned to skin and bone and died. We separated her with a thin sheep(294) and gave them 24/7 hay, grain, loose minerals. I gave them vitmain B, redcell, and a weight gainer/meal replacement. The sheep put on weight and did fine, cassiopia never improved. Her eye lids were completely white and stayed that way, no matter what. Wormed with all three classes as directed, no improvement.
We got a batch of 15 chicks, they did great until we lost rosie now we only have 6 of those left. We got a second batch of chickens, started with 13...11 left. Predators are moving in now that we have no guard.
Our mule duck sat a nest and hatched out 15 ducklings. Lost 3 in a waterer(kid put it in, didnt know better), Geese attacked them when the door to the two story blew open so lost 2 more. We moved them into a big pen in the shop instead so the geese couldnt get them......but the pigs could We put up chicken wire and have 6 left, poor mule duck.
We sold moon and the wether went with him.
Oreo - polypays baby is doing good and almost as big as her mom.
308 did end up having a lamb, a single ram in mid june.
We held back 4 gilts from our hereford/duroc litter, growing them slow to be breeders.
Spot had a litter of piglets 8/4, 7 piglets, she laid on one on the 7th so 6 piglets left.
We traded hay for a 98% Boer Buck a few weeks ago, he is 1.5yrs old and a sweetheart. Ivy, Phoebe and Fate are all looking really good.
This is Big Boy
We now do "foster" care and have a foster kid, no licensing yet as the documents we need to order cost money and we haven't been able to get them yet. We have had her since the beginning of May.
We put in a big garden and it is doing wonderfully. So we have had a farm stand for almost a month.
Sara is re-bred.
Found out one of my "apple" trees is a rainer cherry tree. Other identified apple trees are Honeycrisp, Mac, Gravenstein, and Pink Lady. Transparent and Granny Smith set zero apples this year.
We got a Dozer to clean land for fencing but as luck would have it, we have neither the money to fix the dozer or to put up fence. Every time there is a light at the end of the tunnel, we get smacked by a freight train. Between animals having problems and vehicles breaking, we have been pretty much broke for over a month.
I think that's it.

Sorry MM... hated to "like" the post but sure am glad to have you back. You've been thought about often. Sorry for all the losses and associated misery that comes with. Hope that light grows brighter and you can get out of that tunnel here shortly.

Also my mother had a masectomy, they declared her cancer free as long as her noduals were good. About a month ago she went to the doctor for what she thought was pnemonia. Lung cancer....still refusing treatment.
Lots of ups and downs. I'm really depressed and stressed today, probly not the best day to write all this but at least you know whats been going on.

Thanks LS, i have mised you guys. I just havn't felt like putting all the bad into words. The loss of Rosie and girlie girl were esp hard and still bother me a lot. I don't think we will ever have another LGD. I love the breed and i loved Rosie but here a pyr is $1200-1400 as a pup...thats never gonna happen. Even if i had the money, it wouldn't happen. As bad as we need a guard and i miss that big white puff..i would never pay that much for a dog.
Maybe I will feel more cheery on Monday. Getting added stress because winter is coming to soon.
