We took Pooty Kat into the vet to get her fixed and blood work and shots done this morning so we will see tomorrow, how much she likes living here. We still hadn't decided on a name for her but my old cat of 17+ years was called Pooty so this one is Pooty II.

I moved the ram lambs out and moved the ewe herd in so we can sort the culls from the breeders and take them to market next week.

The girls stood and stared at the feed troughs for the longest time and then they finally decided to lay down but they aren't leaving till they get some feed.

We finished working the girls and had them moved back to paddocks around 2:30 this afternoon. We pulled a bunch of fecal samples so Saturday will be dedicated to the samples. There are 6 ewe lambs that are going to be culled and unfortunately Taffy (one of the bottle lambs) is one of them. There are also 2 of the ewes that are going to be registered in that paddock that are too young to breed. They have the size and then some but if bred now, their lambs would be born a bit before they will be a year old which KHSI doesn't allow for sheep that will/could be registered.

I'm going to bush hog the paddocks that have been allowed to grow for several months and seed some deer mix seed in a couple others. We noticed almost all of the senior ewes are cycling which we were pretty sure of since Maxwell has been standing at the top of the hill looking down at the girls longingly. He may have gotten some through the fence based on their weight. The spotted ewe has put on 10 pounds since the last check and she weighs in at 199. Her daughter is 185 and her daughter is 180 and they haven't been given any feed for two months. There was no way to flush since they are all fat already.

I'm heading out to pull Maisy out of the field and move the ewes so Max can quit being stressed.
