I'm flattered but if I said '1000' T-posts I had to be exaggerating. :)

As fir the ditch: When we first started working on our place, there was a 3' deep by 3' wide ditch that ran from the storm drain pond at the south end to the dry pond in the middle of the biggest field that I'm guessing was meant to fill the dry pond but it never worked (about 500'). Before I started fencing I filled in that ditch with the slabs/rocks that we took out of an area close by the house then finished filling it with dirt dug at the other end of our place. I was overwhelmed enough at that point that taking pictures was the last thing on my mind. ;)

I have read quite a few journals myself but you have a put a whole lot more effort than I did. :lol:

OK, maybe I exaggerated a bit when I said 1000 T-posts. ;)

I have been reading all of these journals because (1) I find it interesting to read about what people have done, the challenges they have faced and accomplishments they have made, and (2) I try to learn as much as I can from what others have done right and done wrong! My Senile Texas Aggie I/Q is definitely low, but at least I know that I am ignorant, so I try to learn from others when I can.

@Senile_Texas_Aggie I think that is the reason most of us read all of these threads. My first year on the forum I didn't know what I didn't know so mostly all of my posts were questions. I did find that @Southern by choice is a very patient lady when it comes to questions as are most of the posters. :)

Teresa has worked most of the fecal samples from the ewes that had really high egg counts when we ran them last month and the results are very good. We will run them in once more next week and separate the senior ewes from the yearlings so they can lamb in the shop paddock which has been idle for a couple of months.

My dogs gave me a new definition for the term "scary feeling" this morning. I was out feeding them and moved on to grooming the dogs. Maisy likes to go between my legs when I'm brushing her and as I was coming her coat she started to growl. I looked up and Thor has one of his"I'M GOING TO KILL YOU" looks on his face and then he started growling. I had no idea what tripped the switch on them but as I'm trying to back up to get Maisy out from between my legs I had to start growling to get Thor's attention but in the end nobody got hurt. :)

Thanks for the kind words Mike. I have not been very patient as of late. I am working on it though. ;)

Thats not good they growled at you. I wonder what caused that? You take such good care of them and they know you love them. Hope it was just a fluke.

It very well could be jealousy but there was also still some feed in one of the bowls that I didn't notice till a few minutes later.
