That Hank, he's a mess! lol

I'm glad he's so enthusiastic about his job. Now I wish I would have put ram markers on all my rams, darn. Next year!

2nd day was better...there was no school groups there It made for a relaxing day. And I got to go around and actually see all the animals...rather than just go in and clean their pens lol (and help band tails on five newborn lambs )...there's turkeys, chickens, a dairy cow and dairy calves, goats, sheep, llamas, ducks, geese, emus, a kangaroo, a wallaby, a buffalo, a brahma steer, an angus heifer, an elk (or maybe it's a deer? don't know lol but he's huge), donkeys, pigs, alpacas, zebras, horses, cats, and dogs.

But tomorrow there's supposed to be 200-some kids there. They said some days will be up to 1000

aggie - this place has 3 locations, one near me, one in Jessup, and one in TX. Is that the one you're talking about?

OK I am JEAULOUS! ! Thatd be a great job.... And btw... this is an elk..

Dark neck.... medium shade body... white - tannish rump. BIG horns.
On the pics, Hanks so purdy tho !!!

I ordered my scale today It was free next-day shipping, too! So I will hopefully get it tomorrow and be able to weigh my sheep to see how much they weigh plus be able to continue to weigh my lambs every month...since they are starting to get too big size wise for me to pick up and be able to see the numbers on the bathroom scale!

My grandmother made apple pie the other day and OMG it was soo good. Well she didn't have any left so I got a little creative...a drive to McDonald's got me two apple pies and a caramel sundae. Well when you eat the apple pies you dip them in the sundae and YUM! you have a delicious dessert

17 days ago I put Hank in with the ewes.

17 days ago I saw my blue crayon for his marking harness.

Today I cannot find his blue crayon. I've looked everywhere!

Looks like I have to go buy another crayon. But I will get one a different color so that way when the blue one shows up I won't have two blue crayons.

But what color to get? Sheepman Supply has orange, yellow, green, purple, and I think brown and black. It has to be darker than red, but lighter than blue. Unless I get yellow and then my ewes get their red butts turned orange

 

[Bridgemoof]

Yes! Orange for Halloween! Perfect!

 

[Straw Hat Kikos]

I was thinking green. lol

btw I have some livestock paint sticks. I went out an painted Arianna's back a little just for fun. Black, blue, orange, red, and purple. She looked funny but then it rained and washed it off her. Come Christmas time I'm going to paint lots of red and green on her and take pictures. haha

 

[SheepGirl]

Lol, maybe I will just buy all the colors!

but anyway, I got an email from FedEx and they said my scale will be here tomorrow

I'm so excited. I've been wanting a scale for my sheep for a long time and I had to wait until I paid my mom back before I could afford the scale.

Hopefully it's here by the time I get home But of course that will make work go by tomorrow sooo slowww. Oh well!
