I should have posted it but it got overwritten. This camera is set to only store for 24 hours.

I was putting some electric netting into a virgin grassy area and the sheep were wondering what's taking me so long to let them in. Half of them have been with the ram going on two months now and the other half was put in with him at the end of the September. Most are visibly pregnant and are looking in great condition. Maisy also knows there will be some new smells to check out.

Sure looks like some serious sheep math going on there...:)

The 10 oldest are 3 years old now and have been in excellent condition so we are hoping for more twins this season. We had planned to flush them before putting Ringo in but they were already too fat just on grass.

Your sheep are beautiful! I love the spotted ewe!

She is a big baby and her lambs are even bigger babies, not that I had anything to do with that. :)

We are hoping for more like her from our ram. Even though he is white he has color in his heritage and I love his disposition.

Geez, I HOPE not!!! :lol:

They both look so Good....I never noticed before, but Maisy has tinting around her eyes that is like eye shadow...it really sets her eyes off and makes them stand out....Thor still has a ways to go to grow into those paws and legs....gonna be a Big boy...:)
A girl likes to dress up a bit now and then ;)

[QUOTE="Devonviolet, post: 524961, member: 12516"So, you're the "working dog" with the white hair, right??? :lol:[/QUOTE]
Well we've all seen the evidence that he works like a dog! No surprise he needed that shut eye. Yep I can see how mistreated all 4 of your dogs are. I'ffn I were a dog, I'd be happy to live at your place. Of course, as has been noted on many occasions, it looks pretty darn nice from the human perspective as well!

@CntryBoy777 The difference between Mike and Teresa's sheep math and regular <insert farm animal here> math is they PLANNED to have that increase ;)

Jay and I knocked out the T-posts on the longest fence line of 620' this morning. I'm going in to pick up the 5 gates for this paddock and I'll drive the T-posts for the shorter 320' section this afternoon if it doesn't rain. I've got Jay coming back tomorrow and we will start putting up the woven wire. We will do the longest section first mainly because it's the only leg on flat land and easier to roll.
