Yikes! I can’t believe that the worst was one of them having a broken leg! Wow!!

 

[Hens and Roos]

wow, glad to hear that no one was killed...I showed my kids the pictures as they are both beginning drivers!

Us too. He was grounded for driving more than not because of his hard headed thing about seat belts. He had to pay the $250 ticket so he has been using them ever since. Plus he has been driving with us quite a bit and we aren't easy on him for him having to be told to put it on. We have become another set of Grands for him.

Our #34 ewe (formerly known as Wild Thang) had a lanky ram lamb about an hour ago so we just have one ewe left to lamb plus the one Jay bought. He lives with his grandfather who has decided he likes sheep enough that he is setting up another 16 acres for them and is buying 30 sheep from an estate sale.

Jay rolled his grandfather's pickup yesterday evening and fortunately he was wearing a seatbelt for once. He only has some bruising from the seatbelt but one of the two boys with him had to be Life Flighted to the hospital but is stable today. He had (notice the word had) a restricted farm license which meant the only passengers he was allowed to carry were adults but nobody under 19. They weren't 19 so he lost his license until he is 19.

I added a pictures of the white dogs to note all of the progress Thor has made in his hoop house shelter renovation.

There is a distinctful smile of pride on that face there....and for some reason while viewing the pic I kept hearing that old song.....I think by the 5th Dimension....Let the Sun Shine In....

That truck is really tore up....they are so Lucky!!.....sure could've been a whole different outcome....Thankful they are okay!!.....

That ewe needs to be culled but that isn't going to happen. She will always be on the wild side but she is about as sweet as she can be or at least she wants to be. She is one of those that is super protective but I walked up to her lamb and squatted down and she lay down in front of me. I really like these animals even with all of the pluses and minuses.

Those boys were very very lucky. God takes care of crazy people and fools. It sucks for Jay that he has to wait till 19 for a license, but lesson learned.

So......Dances With Sheep, have you thought about hiring out Thor as a demolition contractor? He's doing a pretty darn good job!

 

[Mike CHS]

I still have to assume that he is the one doing it so it is a matter of innocent until proven guilty.

Those kids had a guardian angel watching over them. Maybe this will get his attention enough now to "grow up" about driving. They are very lucky to not have been seriously injured or killed. At least the expensive ticket turned out to be the "ticket" that may have saved all their lives. I know they are kids and kids do STUPID things. So glad it turned out to be a lesson they can learn from themselves. They sure did tear up that truck. Glad that you are another set of "grands" to him. Sometimes they listen to "outsiders" better than to family or friends close to them.

Always great farm pics Mike. Sorry to hear about Jay and his recent issues. He must have been traveling at a pretty good clip to total out an F250 like that. That's some serious, hard core damage done. Surprised you still haven't "caught" the hoop house re-designer yet... Were it me, I'd be pretty aggravated about now. But I also notice you haven't replaced the shredded tarps yet so at least no further $$ lost to destruction.
