Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

We still haven't settled on a name for the bottle lamb but Teresa has been calling him Sir Peesalot.

We brought the sheep in to do ear tags on the newest lambs and give shots to a few that needed them. We had one ewe that is getting pulled down by her lambs nursing so we pulled a fecal from her. Turned out she only a few eggs but her lamb weighed in at 62 pounds at two months. The other lambs born at the same time weighed between 55 and 60 pounds which I'm happy with. We haven't used creep feed on any of the lambs born so far and the growth is super.

Sir Peesalot! Hahaha! Why is it lambs pee out twice the volume they take in?

That’s awesome weights on the lambs! I’m counting down to spring when I can put Ringo’s daughters with Cooper!

Edited to add, I took Carson up to Cooper’s fence, petted Carson and petted Cooper through the fence. Cooper was on alert, interested but not not fearful or wanting to charge. Little steps.

A couple of "just because' pictures. Teresa named the bottle lamb Pistol.

As in, like a water pistol ?

In her part of Missouri there is a lot of use of "you are a pistol" as in character. Sort of like "you are special" in Tennesee

Looking lovingly spoiled, to me.

Too stinkin' cute!!

You are special in Texas means you are stupid. You are a pistol means you know how to use one.
If his recent name was Sir Peesalot, maybe his name should be Pisstol. Hahaha

Seems like alpacas do as well.
