I don't normally but this one already had a name. The only ones we have named are two the the three wethers keeping our ram company and one of them goes to the butcher on Wednesday.

A quick update on our young man and the consequences of the stolen hand gun. We don't know all of the details but his Grandpa wasn't kidding when he said they had enough of his antics. His car is no longer his and his hunting weapons are also gone. There are a few other changes but what we got was in a quick text from his Mamaw.

Wow! He has to have consequences though!

That is such a tough situation and the family has to hold to accepting responsibility as a condition....but, if it doesn't get his attention, then it will cost him dearly....

Fred - I think they got mad finally because he was acting like all was good since nothing major happened. Grandpa took all of the action after they went down to the lake for the weekend. I think they decided that he avoided official jail but he is (finally) in jail at home.

Sounds like he just hasn't gotten the picture, still invincible. I hope he figures it out before he gets dead or 20 years in jail.

We need rain and it looks like we will be getting some soon. I took the last of the ram lambs out of the main herd today and put him in the boys pen. He is a couple of days shy of two months but he reaches up to his dams shoulder and he is pulling her condition down and she is one we want to breed back if we can get her back in shape. The ram lamb is right at 65 pounds so his growth has been good for a two month old. The dam is one of our biggest ewes and it looks like this boy will have it also. We still have the one month old twins in with the main herd and we'll leave them there until we swap paddocks and move the main herd where the boys are now. They will get their second round of shots and check hooves again. Any that need their hooves worked since the last time a month ago will be put in the cull pen. We are only keeping 3 of our original 10 past this summer. The ewes that regain super condition will be bred and sold and those that are slow gaining will go to the auction.
Teresa and I spent a lot of time comparing notes from the last time we had them in to see who was making good gains and who isn't.
Also, I'm attaching a better photo of the just weaned ewe lambs we brought home yesterday. They have gotten into the routine and come in for feed when Teresa shakes the bucket. They like women and are unsure of me so we have to work on that since I do most of the handling.
