We gave shots to the 16 lambs and trimmed hooves on them and the 10 ewes in that pen. We started right at 9:00 this morning and finished getting everything put up around 3:00. With this forever rain, the hooves are in the worst shape that I have ever seen. We have two ewes that have hoof rot so they are moved back into the original holding pen where we can treat. Both of these are two of our original stock and they will be culled after their lambs are weaned. The two ewes that are left from the original stock are also on the cull list for hooves along with one of the new ewe lambs.

All that bending over has me with a sore back but at least it got done.

I know you are glad to have that done!

I am for sure. Our spotted ewe is going to be one of the culls but she has to go and if her ewe lamb has inherited her hooves she will go also. We pulled fecals on all of the ewes that high egg count the last time we pulled a sample so we will see soon who all stays. That was two of the original 10 and 2 two year olds that were born here.

It's probably a good thing that I have been on the low carb eating for awhile now since I can't have anything to eat today. I'm going in for the colon thing tomorrow since my colon test came back positive a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully things will go well and if there is something to worry about, I'll do that when I'm told it's time to worry.

I don't usually share this kind of private thing but Joe gave me a whole new perspective on life.

I hope it turns out to be nothing, but if it isn't at least you caught it early. My sympathies on the "colon thing" prep.

Didn't he though! I'm having similar feelings.

I have been having similar feelings as well.
