2021, Waiting on lambs!

[secuono]

I need to buy, not one, not two, but 3 culvert pipes! They went up in price & I need them delivered. But saving $200 let's me buy one!
I could get away with using pvc pipe for the other spot, so now I can order two!
Its for the horse track, but sheep also cross it, that's why I'm posting about it here.
Maybe next week with that purchase. I'll need to buy more gravel, though. So, probably won't be until after lambing season to finish it.

Trying to bend these panels by hand looks to be impossible...🤔 how else to do it...Any ideas??

Tentatively, shearing will be sometime between February 7-9th!

I believe it was you that was saying that they were probably going to trash fleece due to no market. If it was, I am interested in a fleece if you are open to selling.

I think the only way you could 90 degree a top or bottom edge on those panels would be with a break or press of some sort. Short of that I dont think there is another way. You could use bolt cutters to cut them if they are to tall.

I'm shearing roughly 3mo early, so fleeces will be shorter. Plus, I just don't want to deal with everything that comes with getting them sold.
Oh! Itll just be me and the shearer, too. She changed it to hourly, so I'm not going to slow her down and get charged another $100 just to bag fleeces.

Only 4 will be saved to sell. None coated.

•Corriedale, white. Has lots of tiny bur on the ends, but most has come out. Inside is clean. Somehow, she's caught them while others are more clear of bur. 🤷🏽‍♀️
•BFL/Cheviot/Babydoll, white.
•Corriedale/Babydoll lamb, white. Only if there's no wool break.
•BFL/Cheviot, white. Top matted, brushed off. Inside clean. Sold last year with top matted.

The bends add a lot of ridigety and strength to them.

Going to try to put the edge under the tractor bucket & use 2 people + ratchet straps.
If that fails, I'll keep thinking. Lol

I think I still have one or two partly processed fleeces in the house & two raw alpaca fleeces bagged up.

I have panels the animals have bent the top down on......they don't seem any stronger or more rigid

If you are interested in selling some feel free to let me know, but I don't want to be a bother if it is easier to just dump them.

I'm not letting the horses near them to bend them. So itll be fine.
