BrownSheep- It's been a while

Glad to hear the test went well!

Good job on GRE
That's a tough test

Thanks guys!

It was a bit of a mind melter. 4 hours of staring at a computer screen

Well, I'm lined out to work at my vets this summer. I can't say how much I love my vets. They are continously gathering vet school advice through their contacts at different univerisities for me. A vet student from Purdue just wrapped up his time with them. Apparently, Purdue love Idaho kids.

Any body in Indiana?

Well, it is officially spring. We had the first chick hatch today. The hen then promptly left the rest of the eggs only to run over and start bashing them when I went over to get the chick who was stuck in a crack.

The chick in the egg she attacked is still alive and in the shell. I put the eggs in the incubator. Psycho hen is on my list. What a dummy.

On of my toms has a swollen foot ( not bumble foot) and his beak looks a little weird. I have my mom hunting for some poultry meds since I couldn't find any in my stash.

My sheep are suicidal little turds. They busted down a panel to get into the new growth grass. Luckily, I arrived home pretty soon after. They are all herded back in and have a bloat block to munch on.

I hope the sheep are doing better. My goats have been difficult to contain since the grass started growing. They mowed down the little they had fast and I am trying to wait until we get a foot of growth to move them.

Good luck with vet school. I live near Indiana but don't have any contacts at Perdue anymore. Try Morehead in KY. That's where my vet went.

They're all good and actually out on pasture. The bloat block has preventative meds so after a couple of days they were good to go.

Just need to vent for a moment.

My STUPID sister.
This morning our neighbor came down to us our yak calves were down (1 mile or so) at their place. It's spring break so we were both sleeping in. I hop up, throw on some clothes (first things I could find,I looked ridiculous), and head down to deal with it. She rolled over and went back to sleep and then got pissy when I asked my mom to get her (40 minutes later)

Said she would help me sort sheep, but then leaves to go shopping. Not a big deal we'll do it when she gets back. In the mean time I get the sheep in to the sorting pens, separate out the rams, and sort about a third of them. She gets home and I ask for her to help me. "You're always bossing me around! You never say please!"...well I did say "Can you help me with the sheep ?" not exacty rude... Says she'll be out in 20 min....That'll be fine....Never comes out. Dad eventually gets home and helps me.

Dad asks for help moving the rams and possibly getting a bull calf that is still in the neighbor's feild. She asks to say put. I have a bum knee from dealing with sheep earlier ( pushed it backwards) but go help.

Mom and my aunt (her visiting twin) calls the house from town to say they are going to visit an uncle and to come join them. The brat picks up and goes without asking if I want to come...I'm still outside with the sheep. Super close to the house.

All of break my mom has been asking me to do all these chores and hasn't asked her to do a thing (literally)...Neither understands why I'm annoyed about that.

My sister goes to a private college and has the habit of being a stuck up know it all. That may sound harsh but even my dad has called her out on it...

Now, she can't understand why I'm mad with her.

Well, she made it up today.
My knee was BAD today so I did very little of use. She helped me a lot.

We went to our vet to get our male Saint's ears cleaned as they are infected, again. After we got home he called to let me know he called Colorado state to check pre-reqs and want to know if I'm lined up to take biochemistry.
