We brought the adult ewes in this morning and wormed those that needed it and pulled fecals from those that we weren't sure about. The parasite load has been high with these ewes but it seems to always be that way after lambing. We are going to bring all of the lambs in tomorrow hopefully for their CD&T shots. They are all pretty tame but I might try to let Lance do his thing since it has been awhile and lambs are always a good challenge.
The way we set our gates up in the holding area, we can open the two gates just a bit and I can stand near the opening. The ewes expect feed and they will come in but since the lambs aren't as comfortable, they won't come in and Lance gets to do what he was bred for.
This bunch of lambs are ready to be weaned so I can let the ewes out and walk them down to another paddock and stand by for a few noisy nights.
