    Thank you @ninnymary. I have 5 ewes due this weekend. 13 in all due over the next couple of weeks. I’ll be keeping ewes towards the grade up program. My name is Baymule and I am a sheep hoarder. :lol: The hoop shelter with tarp stretched to the fence, needs that end open. It’s already...

    My son was in a wreck in Midland, Texas this morning and is in the hospital there. He’s waiting on test results now. He was banged up, hopefully results will come back ok and he’ll be released today, if not, he’ll be released tomorrow. A lady pulled out in front of him and he hit her. She is...

    Goin' to the Dogs!

    This is Carson being a good boy. I was working in the front field and he wanted so bad to come see what I was doing. I don’t allow him in the fields, that belong to the Anatolians. I don’t allow the Anatolians in the yard, that belongs to Carson. I had opened the gate to let the fat pregnant...

    The only garden I have is a few things in tubs. I neglected to put hog panels around them and the sheep got to them. They pulled up onions, ate some and ate the tops of a tub of potatoes to the dirt. I thought potato leaves were poisonous? Evidently not to sheep. Growing in pots beats nothing...

    Phaedra's Adventure

    You create little vignettes of loveliness in your yard. Someday I hope to have a pretty yard, but the realities of farm life come first, fence, clearing fence rows, shelters, this year, hopefully a small barn. In the meantime I’ll just admire your yard and gather inspiration!

    Coffee

    Going for my second cup of coffee, then outside to get to work. I’ll let the group of ewes with lambs, and the young ewes on the yard today. Lots of yummy grass, they can mow it for me. And back to work on the pen I’m building. I have 3 rams, have to separate the 2 younger ones and give them...

    I worked outside yesterday all day. I built another one of my famous Pallet Palaces. It’s 6’x12’ because I had two 12’ R panels. I had 4 pallets and scrounged up some used lumber. I used my tractor to carry the pallets to the pen I’m building. They are the big solid heavy kind. I can’t pick them...

    Tuesday I worked on building a pen for Rocky and 5 gonna be his Baby Mommas. I had horse panels propped up against the back of the shed. There was also one wired to that red gate that I took down. These were in Reina’s pen, so I put her in the round pen. Horse panels are 16’ long, the holes...

    Ram lambs go to auction or slaughter. Out of 10 last year, only 2 made the cut for flock sires. I have 3 weaned ram lambs right now. 1 is spoken for, commercial sire. 1 I just sent off for his registration papers, we’ll see how that goes. 1 will go to freezer camp when I get tired of fooling...

    Lambing really did start now! First time Mom had a single ram lamb this morning. Right on her due date too! He was up, nursing vigorously and healthy. Good job Jet! Jet took him right out on the field. Jet is a first generation recorded ewe. That means she is from an unregistered ewe...

    Today is going to be sunny! Had 1 1/2” of rain last week and 2” yesterday. Ground is soggy. I’m happy to report that the new hoop shelter in front field is dry inside. Water all around it and muddy at the fence under the “porch” tarp, but my girls have a dry place to lay down. Water is standing...
