Good quality there Mike. I know my Dad and stepmother worked towards twins and prime when they were raising sheep. Kinda like you and Teresa are doing it, "gentleman farm" as a hobby.

Maisy is losing most of her attitude as I think she figured out she isn't being replaced. After feeding this morning we spent a good bit of time on a pasture walk and both patrolled like they had been together for a long time rather than a few days. Maisy is getting her confidence back so I'm hoping we are getting there.

That's really good to hear and think they will make great partners for each other....she may relax some with a "partner" she can have confidence in.....

I'd say team patrolling after 2 days is great progress! I hadn't considered that Maisy might think she was being replaced.

I'm only letting them in with the main herd while I'm out so they are in a pasture at night with the ewe bottle lamb and the wether that are starting to think they are dogs. Every time the dogs go running out around the pasture, the two sheep run with them.

Sheep "kids" love to run!

We had a frost a couple of days ago and it looks like a couple of more frosts this week so the garden beds are closed for the season. We had some fried green tomatoes for lunch and I stripped the okra of all of the pods except for a couple and took the pods to a neighbor. I'm going to cover the plants that have the pods that are left to see if I can keep the plant alive till the pods get dry enough to provide save some seed for next springs planting.
