Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

[Mike CHS]

We have all the sheep in doing the usual check out plus a good portion of the lambs are getting shots. We are pulling the two ram lambs that were born in December and putting them in the old chicken coop pen. The bottle lamb will be going in with them also.

Moving the 'ram lambs' today reminded me of when @Baymule was here once. We got the ear tags on the wrong ear of one of the lambs and as I was reaching to pick it up, it squatted to pee and I said to Teresa, we got ear tags on the wrong ear because that sheep is a ewe.

I moved 3 ram lambs last week. They are still unhappy.
Using the old chicken coop for ram lambs is a great idea.

Since the ram lambs brother wound up being his sister, she got sent back to her dam and the bottle lamb was sent out to share the coop pen and keep the ram lamb company. It wound up working really well since the circumstances caused the two to bind immediately.

We brought the sheep back in to finish up doing shots and a couple of the ewes needed their hooves worked on. We quit doing regular maintenance on their hooves a couple of years ago and now only work on them when we see an issue. We are going to have a rough time this year in getting our numbers down as overall, this crop of lambs are amazing. Oshi has definitely imprinted his traits on our sheep.

Why?

She just signed up today so I'm not sure what that is about.

 

[Ridgetop]

Maybe because you have too many amazing lambs to choose from?

I know why @Mike CHS is going to have a problem trying to keep his herd number down, but that was a strange reaction from someone new to the forum....
