The two lambs that were bottle lambs weren't seeming to want to join the others so I moved the entire bunch to another paddock several days ago. Getting the bottle lambs away from the shop (where the expected us to be) seems to have worked and they are wandering around with the herd of lambs finally.

After having rested up some random body parts for a few days I felt good enough to go work on that downed tree again. I got all of the trunks that had come down and I'll get the little bit that is still attached tomorrow. I think I must have sweated a gallon or more of fluid.

Something got one of our hens last night and I'm suspecting a racoon since it got it in one of the coops. We locked the chickens down and set out two traps. It seems if you get rid of one or two predators that others just move in but I'll get rid of those one or two also. I guess that's how the cycle works.

I don't mean to wish my life away ,but I sure am looking forward to November when it's nice out again , :)

I'm actually not griping yet. We had a nice spring that gave the garden beds a boost and if it waits till the end of June to get hot, I'm happy. The sheep are miserable though and I'm taking cold water out to replace the hot water in the troughs.
