We built a couple of hay racks based on a thread by jodief quite awhile ago. We still have to add the goat panels for a two sided feeder setup but the frames are done. Also built 4 PVC feeders that are on the table next to one of the racks. Materials were already on hand so no new expenditures for a change. We pick out our sheep tomorrow and bring them home Tuesday so today was getting last minutes things finished today.

Just for fun we dug out the sign to hang up in the shop. This was already carved when we were in South Carolina. We have carving machines so can't take credit for the carve other than the finishing portion. We have been here going on six months now and still don't have the shop put together. That was supposed to be next on the list (before sheep) but the LGD came unexpectedly and we need to give her a job to keep her happy. Double plus is it lets us work the herding dogs every day instead of once a week. Most of the ewes we are getting are due to lamb starting next month so we are getting some wethers to use for training to keep from stressing the ewes.

X2 I love moose. They're so cute and awkward and well, you know, terrifying! I should say I love moose when I am not on my 4 wheeler...

Really like that sign a lot!

And not when you are on the Interstate at night when they decide to cross!

Never had that one happen. Never seen a moose on the interstate actually. But it sounds like a terrible place for a moose!
