Big Girl lambed night before last. That would be Monday night. The first was a big ram, covered in yellow goop. When the goop is yellow, it’s an indicator of a problem birth. He was floppy and took a long time to get up and after many failed attempts, he finally nursed. I helped him a little...

Another sunny day, yesterday I went to the grocery store. Need to set a round bale of hay for front field, but it’s so muddy, I don’t want to leave ruts.

@digitS' my church flip flops are sparkly ones! 😃😃😃😃😃

Sad tale. My mistake. I picked up the 3 week old pullets. It was cold, their “house” was warm. We put them in cardboard boxes so I could get them home. I was so afraid of them getting cold! But when I got home and opened the boxes, half were dead. :hit Of all things, they got too hot. I was...

Hahaha @ducks4you ! Yes! I have livestock. The old saying is, if you have livestock, you get deadstock. Same with plants. They are not ALL going to live. Making a garden thread is a great idea! Plant the reliable seeds that make the reliable plants, for optimum success. Then branch out into...

I discovered 100% cotton jeans at Atwoods, their brand name. Made in Bangladesh, have to try on every pair as sizes are a suggestion. Their brand name is Real Ranch. I bought men’s jeans as they didn’t have women’s jeans. Legs are roomy, just what I need for my farm activities. Best part? Only...

Last month I took Buford to a clinic in Houston for x-rays on hips and shoulders. He was NOT impressed. X-rays were sent off to the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals or OFA. I got the certificates last week. His elbows (front legs) are normal. His hips are EXCELLENT! This is tremendously...

Coffee is ready. It was sunny yesterday but still so muddy, there are standing pools of water in the fields, ground is saturated. Too wet to do much of anything outside.

@Gardening with Rabbits I’m so sorry about Blinky. He sure was a pretty cat and had loads of personality. Our pets mean so much to us, but comes the time when we have to let them go. 💔

I moved Buford to the front field with Sheba. On Saturday the 15th, Cinnamon had a single ewe lamb. Buford was perfect. She had passed the placenta, lamb was up and lively and had a full tummy. Buford didn’t drop his head and grin at me, he stood tall and confident. I was so proud of him. On...

Oh, I did make it to church! I got chicks cared for, fed dogs, fed sheep and even had a few minutes to grab a sandwich. LOL

I finished the hoop coop. Had it all ready for baby chicks. Then February decided on one more fling and threw a farewell party. Temps dropped in the low 20’s and took a dip in the teens. Suddenly the coop was not adequate. It was too cold and the coop was built for Texas heat...

Dessa had twins yesterday . Up, nursed, placenta expelled. I moved her and lambs to Coopers pen, he is out on the field with ewes. I’ll feed her extra for a little while. They are white. Little Ringo is the sire. 1ram, 1ewe. I have not got pictures, was dealing with ice. Hauling boiling...

I have catching up to do! Live lambs at 38. Monday, 2-17-25 BTX ewe had triplets, 2 ewes and a ram. Rocky is the sire of these three. She had triplets last year, didn’t clean out good and got an infection. I went to the vet for Lute and a strong antibiotic. She got better but could only feed...

Cinnamon, registered ewe from @margali on BYH had a single white ewe lamb yesterday morning. I gave middle granddaughter naming rights, it’s 5 days past her birthday. Name is unknown as of yet. I put them in a small pen to bond. Cinnamon was ready to go out on the field with the rest of the Ewe...

I’ll play! Alexa, add milk to the shopping list. Just send me your address, my phone will take me to your front door. I got a new laptop. I love my Ring doorbell and security camera. I love ordering groceries online and just picking them up. My car will drive itself.

Please don’t get the flu or a cold!

Wednesday and Thursday I got 4” of rain, it got cold and it is muddy. Yesterday I set 2 round bales of hay, hated to make ruts with big tractor, but sheep needed hay.

He has earned his retirement!❤️
