Thanks guys! And BrownSheep,

So...I am taking my ram to auction on Tuesday. I'm thinking about taking Paulie (my wether) along as well. Mainly so Billy doesn't die of stress on the way there; last time he was separated from the flock he was panting and shaking. Also if I take Paulie then I will have more money to pay for feed and/or a new ram.

But our truck is broken...something about the axles leaking or something (plus there's a lot more wrong with it...it's got 260k miles on it and it's only 13 yrs old). All that mumbo-jumbo the mechanics talk about is beyond me lol. But $1400 worth of work is not happening right now (even though Billy, my ram, needs to go now) so I'm thinking about putting them in our expedition, but our dog kennel is too big to fit in there. So I'm wondering if it would be safe to have them 'loose' in the back? They would more than likely lay down, but Paulie is scared to death of Billy (and rightly so) so I'm just wondering about that... :/

Got a new bale of hay today plus 3 straw bales. This time I got straight timothy rather than a timothy/grass mix. And the straw really helps soak up the mud and especially with all these rainstorms we've been having we needed more straw! And our poor truck. My mom went 5-10 mph below the speed limit (with her hazard lights on) getting there because of the issues with the truck and we were literally 1/2 mile away from the farm when the tire started making a cranking noise. It did it all the way home, too. Soo my mom thinks the next car we get will be a new truck...she's already started looking online at prices with all the things she and my dad want, so I think that's going to be what we're going to get. But our hay guy is so nice (and he gives me a $5/bale discount ) and his son is pretty cute, too

If we don't get a new truck by the time I need hay again (which will be another 6 wks or so) we might have him deliver 3-4 bales so that way we don't feel bad he wasted his time for just 1. But we don't live far away (probably 15-20 minutes), but it's more efficient to get more hay with just 1 load.

I am completely out of my other bale so I am happy I was able to get this one today. I got about 430 lbs out of my 4x4 bale, so we will see what I get out of this straight timothy bale.

Won't be on much (if at all) this weekend as I have family visiting so I will be spending time with them rather than you guys
