Scrapie is a serious sheep disease, no treatment, no cure, highly contagious. They itch and scratch themselves on anything they can find. They get put down. By quarantine and killing the infected, it has been brought under control for many years. Every now and then one pops up and is quickly...

Fancy had a single, black ewe yesterday, December 20, 2025. Of course she is beautiful and soooo cute! This ewe is third generation, 87.5% and will be eligible for full registration after she turns 1 year old and passes the hair coat test. Looking at Fancy, I may have to go to the fourth...

Busy morning! I had to leave at 8:00 and pickup my sister in law to get her to physical therapy by 9:00. I was doing chores and there was Mango with a lamb! I didn’t have time to deal with her, so I shut her up in the small night one, right where she was. I shut the other ewes out of the...

Yes fat Granny rejected one of her babies last year. She is so fat, was fat before she was bred, she may have a hard time giving birth. I'm watching her closely.

Welcome to TEG, lots of folks here that love to garden.

I went to the Sheriffs pancake supper last night. Took my new neighbor Catherine, from Switzerland. Met a couple I met there last year, they are from Miami and they brought their neighbor Dave. We all had a rip roaring good time. Donations are accepted, at the end of the school year, any...

I have 4 or 5 more ewes to lamb in the middle field. They are due now or soon. I think I have 19 in the front field to lamb, from now through February. Lamb explosion!

Lambing started December 5, Sugar had a single ram. Big healthy boy, Sugar is a good momma. As I was moving Sugar, I saw Cleopatra, also of Texas 5 White Dorper fame, laying out in the field like a beached whale, giving birth. She had a single, up and fumbling for a teat. Nose and toes...

I was called in for jury duty Monday, I was chosen. It was a Capital Murder case. We had to be there at 7:45, I had to leave my house at 7. That meant that I was out in the dark doing chores. It was so foggy Tuesday morning that my headlight only went out 2-3 feet in front of me. I got lost. In...

My son and I went over Tuesday and spent the day helping them unload the truck and the small trailer. They had boxes stacked everywhere. It will take them a while to get everything unpacked and put in order. They are thrilled with their new home.

I named the horse Maximus, Max for short. It's been raining, haven't gotten much done outside. TUESDAY!! Yeah Tuesday, I had to remind myself by looking at the calendar on my phone. My new neighbors Charles and Holly and their 3 boys are finally my new neighbors. What an eventful day/night...

I enjoy your posts on training dogs. It's so nice to know someone is trying to teach humans how to teach and train their dogs. My Anatolian Shepherds have good manners, are responsive to me, but have no recall when going after a predator or what they perceive as danger. My female, Sheba, took...

Thanksgiving was nice, went to my sister's house. There was grilled steak, no turkey and dressing. I kinda miss the turkey and dressing, but I don't do the menu, she and my daughter do. I showed up with my son and 2 pies. LOL Now I'm working on cleaning up the mess that is my back yard. I have...

I'm very glad that it rarely snows here, however I get monumental rains. So I get mud. Mud. I have a mud farm. Mix in sheep poop and I get Poop Soup. non edible.

Had my 2 cups of coffee, a couple of scrambled eggs and next is getting dressed and outside to work all day. I have a list of things to do outside while it is not a thousand degrees and hot. LOL

It was storming yesterday afternoon. I had to set a round bale of hay for the 10 sheep I'm keeping for a friend while they sell their place and buy another place, move and all that not fun stuff. It was thundering and lightening, creepy. I barely got the tractor parked when it started raining...
