Pups are looking great! Mom is still looking pretty thin/underweight to me... (I like "thicker" dogs which some consider "fat")

She was just bones before. She has muscle now.
She's a dainty eater and she's proved that no amount of fance, expensive, beefing up food will do any good, she won't eat much of it.
If only you could of felt her before and now.

wow... well, I would have to guess that she knows what she needs... Better to have a dog that eats the bare minimum than one that is a glutton and over weight. Just a thought but maybe if you increased the fat content just a bit she might eat more and put on a little more weight?

Have you seen my other posts of all the food I tried to feed her?
She wants nothing but her adult food.
She would eat the other stuff a handful of times, then tell me to eat it or leave it all day long. I still have satin balls in the freezer because she got tired of it and wouldn't eat them any more.

So neuter visit failed. Rescheduled with farm vet coming out to sedate him before trying to load him. Didn't ask for price, don't want to know.

Billy was smushing fencing down, his breeding season is over early. He gets to live in the dogyard until December.

Fluffs go nutty for duck eggs, it's cute.

Some pictures. Lightblue, Darkblue, Orange are held.

Another wreck this morning. Momma dog escaped to the new land to get closer to bark at the idiot that wasn't watching where he was driving.
Issue with that is now the pups know there is something out that way...Need more hotwire put up.

2 of Maciej's ewes got sick of him and popped through the hole I have for momma dog to use to get to the raised path that then has the gate to the other pastures. IDK how long they were stuck up there, made a mess trying to get back down. Tossed them back out and then found out they pop under the pup wall with the pup food....No wonder food is gone so fast.... Ewes still flying away from ram.

I think I'll end his breeding time early as well. I'm just too sick of all the crud this year.

Ugh, such a sucky autumn. Been sick a week as well. =/

I think I may sell a 3rd ram, so I would only have 2 for a couple years.

Decided to only keep the male pup, which leaves 4 females still for sale. People hate females.... =/

Oh come on, we all like girls! ;)

Must be about the only thing "agricultural" where being MALE isn't a deficit (and likely to have you end up in someone's freezer).
