Congrats! With no firm breeding dates, how do they handle the timing for vaccinating the pregnant ewes?

They are all getting shots tomorrow. It will probably be off for some but they are all showing signs of being within 2-3 weeks of lambing.
Best of luck with the new flock. Hoping the introduction of your new LGD to the new flock and the presence of herding dogs goes well. Waiting for updates with pics.

There is more going on than what we are used to.
It will stay like this. We stay so darn busy, I have to keep it on the calendar. How the HE!! did we ever hold down jobs?

Yup same here. My husband works but I don't and man... I don't know how we managed to both have jobs at one point!

I used to work 10+ hours a day, had horses on land that we had, so had to drive to go feed and care for them. I had chickens and a garden at home, cooked from scratch, and was on GO all the time. I am still on GO all the time, but get to slow down a little and enjoy it more.

Age, Health, and Priorities 'Play' a big part in being able to keep up with all the 'Plates' that are spinning on the Sticks!!....what I get done in a day's time would used to be done in just a couple of hrs....

I used to hit the house after work and sling super together in minutes, or if I took time to really cook something more time consuming, we didn't eat until 8 PM. I tried to have supper ready by 6 or 7 PM. Now, I like to have supper at 5 or 6 and the mess cleaned up. With the time change, I feed the animals earlier, used to feed in the dark in the winter. I am still on super charged GO, but get to pick my times to suit me.

We brought the sheep home this afternoon. We had a couple of things to finish up before unloading so they had the better part of an hour in the trailer. It was a nice cool day but they were still happy to be loose. Our dogs didn't realize that the sheep they had worked this morning had come home with them until I let them out of the trailer.
Here is 9 of the 10. It was getting dark as I got around to take pictures so there are just the two.
