I think you need to save that spotted ewe and at least one her ewe babies from Maxwell for me.…….

We can do that. We seriously considered selling her because she needs worming so often. Her daughter has been better and her grand has been better yet. I wish she would throw more of her color pattern but her lambs have been solid black or solid white. I'm curious to see what she throws with Maxwell's red spotted color pattern thrown into the mix. I have had the genetics explained to me on BYH but it didn't sink in.

I hope she and Maxwell have a beautiful ewe lamb/lambs. Twin girls would be good! LOL
BJ just said, "Get 'em? What do you mean get 'em?"
I said, "I mean GO get them."
He shook his head.
I said, "Yeah, I know, I'm nuts, but you like my brand of crazy."
BJ...…"I never win."

I did get the neighbors grass cut this morning and got the ram lambs moved back to the shop paddock so we can worm the two boys that have a high egg count. The other six were acceptable in their egg count but the best of the bunch is the two wethers. Their egg count was literally ZERO but they had been wormed a month ago.
Maxwell is still with the steers. I called the sheep up and two of my favorites came up to where I was standing not far from the open gate. Maxwell was tempted but every time the steers turned away he would go with them. Then the cows decided coming through the gate was OK but of course I don't want them with the ewes and when I walked them back away from the gate, Max of course would go with them. He has been in a harness before but since he is bigger than I am, I'll try that as a last resort if I can't coax him through. He has gotten used to being handled but Ringo like he is not there yet. I would rather not have to go that route since he is pretty trusting in most other areas and I don't to take a step backwards.

That entered my mind but one of the steers killed an Aussie at his original farm. He has no fear of dogs and he is amazingly fast. Max will give up when he's ready, he is just smarter than most and even though he normally follows a bucket, he knows something is up.

I forgot to mention the status of the cat. Teresa got a call this morning from the vet's office to tell her that they had the cat ready for surgery and saw the scar that told them she had already been fixed. I didn't get in to pick her up until around 2:00 this afternoon since I had spent so much time telling Max he really wanted to be with the ewes but she didn't seem to be holding a grudge. I opened the door to her transport cage and put my hand in so she was cuddling all of the way home.
