They probably came to the rattle of feed in a bucket!
My calling "Here Sheep" is all it took but I did give them some feed in their troughs for being good.

A cherry wood garden box! Whatever you grow in it sure ought to feel real special!
My sheep stampede when I call them. A feed can does wonders. Your sheep are trained to go through an opening, but they are trained to come when you call. Sheep have better recall than most dogs.

Yeah...recall!! I have a goat that's about to get recalled! She won't forget how to turn the handle to the barn feed room!!
They should study these animals to stop Altzhimers!!! The secret is in there.

The semi feral cat (Grace) has figured out a way to get petted and now that we can handle Grace we found out she is a he but the name isn't going to change since he responds to it. One day last week, Teresa was putting some dry food out and he came up to the bowl and started purring when she laid a hand on him. We started putting the feed out in small amounts but several times a day. He still won't let us put a hand on anywhere other than at the food bowl but he now sits where he can see us when we walk to the bowl and then he comes running.

Prices at the sale barn have come down a small amount but they are still within a few cents of where they were a month ago. All of this batch of lambs were graded as prime with the 70 pounders bringing $3.95 a pound and the 50 pounders $4.15.

Congrats on the sheep prices. Maybe not the highest high, but like you said, close.

$4.15 on the hoof? Sounds pretty good. Not sure I'd want to know how much a pound for the prime loin chops but I'd sure eat them!

Yes Bruce. They sell by live weight.

You know how you can be sitting and all of a sudden you have a craving for something you haven't had in a long time? My Grandmother used to make a Honey/Vinegar pie which is basically a custard pie but I'm not finding a recipe that seems like it would have the taste I remember. These pies evidently originated during the Depression since money was short and these pies have few but inexpensive ingredients.
