Today I went over and helped her with her sheep. A guy came over to shear them, but I had to move them around and handle them. We had to man handle them a bit. I am trying to lead the dang thing it it being a sheep doesn't like that so it lays down. Sheep... Got to hang with the cows a little bit again and of course her big Boers and their kids. We also put the kids ear tags in. It wasn't much work but it was fun. I wish I had her land. Not this Friday but next one we are going to the sale here. I'm most def not buying anything but it is fun to go. They do goats, sheep, pigs, cattle, llamas and more there.

Today I took some pictures of some of the animals. I didn't do much with them today other than give them lots of water. Here's the pictures.

love the pics and your hay feeder. I need to rework my hay feeder and I am looking for ideas. How do you like the hay feeder is there anything you would change ?

I love the hay feeder. If I were to change something it would be to make the catch shelf a little longer out. That way it catches more hay.

btw it doesn't look very pretty because it was made of wood laying around.

Thank you. They are very easy to take care of. They are like feral birds so they need almost no care. Let me tell you how crazy they are. When I was first moving them outside for they first time the one flew out of my arms and ran into the woods. We looked for a good bit of time but was not able to find it. Keep in mind that this bird is 8-10 weeks old. Well a few days later we had a snow storm. I would have sworn this bird is dead. Nope. It lived in the woods and snow for a week and would come up to the edge of the woods just to see how things were going but as soon as it saw you, back in it went. It was a Pena girl. We were finally able to catch her and put her with the rest. These bird survive!! I mean a weak in snow with out chick feed or water and yet it lives??

That's an awesome story.
That bird must've had one heck of a thick skin ... literally

And 8-10 weeks too, at that age our chickens were still practically hiding under us when we took them outside. Hehe.
