SheepGirl's Journal - Photos of the sheep 4/25

Oh and ignore the part in the beginning where I ask if it's recording

I couldn't figure out how to edit it out of the video lol

My mom also took this lovely picture of my Hanky Panky

And because I haven't posted any photos of it yet, here is Hank's apartment. I have those boards there to push the sides in so the roof doesn't fall off because we haven't gotten a chance to fix it yet. We've decided instead of cutting a new piece of plywood we will just cut the 2x4s on the back wall. That way it will fit together like it is supposed to.

You give it pretty much in the same spot I do. I grab the extra skin behind the shoulder though. It's almost like you can grab the upper leg and get either the muscle there or you can slide back off the muscle and just grab skin. I just stick it in, draw back to make sure I'm not in blood, then shoot it in. I too give a real quick rub and let them go. I can not imagine doing that with a sheep though. All that wool in the way.

btw did you upload this to youtube first then to your site? Just wondering.

Hank is handsome. How tall is he and your other sheep?

btw Hank looks like he likes running with the ladies better. ha

Sheep have a bare patch of skin right behind their arm, so that's where I do it with my sheep

But no, I uploaded it to photobucket and then when I edited my website, I did insert>video and then I copied the embed code there.

Hank, I'm not sure of his exact height. Probably in the 23-25" range. He's taller than Ali, but shorter than Ciqala lol. When they get sheared I want to get 'official' heights on them lol. I'm thinking they will be sheared in the garage so that way there is a clean concrete floor and also so there's an outlet the shearer can plug her shears into. Ideally I would like to have it outside so that way if it's nice out the pictures will turn out good, but shearing on grass or gravel (even with a carpet laid out) is just weird, esp. since we've always done it on hard, compacted dirt. And also by having it on the level concrete floor will give me a more accurate measurement of their height lol.

And yes he misses his girlfriends. But he has a huge bachelor pad now!! And he doesn't have to worry about taking care of the kids because his girlfriends will have it under control. lol

Hank looks so sweet.

I just watched the video, turned out great! My sheep wouldn't be so willing to just stand there and let me poke em. Hank is a good boy! My big question is, how in the world can a farmer even OWN a white jacket? AND keep it clean looking?

Then I watched the video of Lady gaga when she was just a little baby. So cute! We need a video of her stotting around!

Hey SheepGirl . Just wanted to say that is one really nice website. It absolutely looks professional. I can't see the video on my tablet but will definitely check it out when I can get to the desk top. Great job, congratulations!

I was thinking the same! I have a black one and most of the time it is brown from mud.

Lol, Bridgemoof! I wear that coat to work and outside to feed the sheep (most days I'm too lazy/comfortable to get out of a jacket I've already warmed up and change into a 'cold' jacket lol). It stays pretty clean. Only time it gets muddy or dirty is when the sheep jump up on me with their muddy hooves trying to get the feed out of the pans lol. And that coat was just washed yesterday but putting up the fence & then feeding made it all muddy :/ So when my coat is muddy & I need something to wear, I steal my dad's Carhartt jacket--way too big but it keeps me warm!! lol

Remuda1, thank you!!
