You got some gorgeous babies there Bay! We are starting lambing literally any day now so hopefully I will have some nice brag pictures to share here soon :love

So what ended up happening is I knew there wouldn't be anything I could do to make them less scared so I spent some time and effort reinforcing anything that could even potentially be an escape point from the corral. We had one weak point that joined to the neighbors unfenced field that I just...

So happy 4th all my usa friends! Anything I can do to help my sheep be a bit calmer for the fireworks tomorrow night? My neighbors tend to go all out and we tested the waters tonight with a Roman candle (no sound really just colors and light) and they were not happy. They were in the corral...

I wish i had another field to move him to right now. Our property is less than a year old so our second field doesn't have a secure fence yet or else I would in a heart beat move them. I'm kinda shocked how quickly he responded to treatment tbh. Maybe its because I caught it early (bottle jaw...

I really want to get a regular vet that I would consult but with the world gone nuts its been hard findingone. FEC would be ideal. I have a microscope that would be capable of doing it but I need to learn the process and get the plate. So if I understand correctly I should repeat what I did...

hey guys, learning curve with sheep is steep. I'm learning a ton being here though. So I have been checking famacha score on all my sheep fairly regularly and up till last week never had an issue. My bottle baby ram started to get pail eyelids so decided to worm him (all the rest look good)...

so guy I'm not sure if i just have weird sheep or if these guys are on to something. They are let out into a 3 acre pasture every morning and put themselves up at night. Recently we had a nasty storm roll through that took down a tree and part of the fence with it. Luckily we found it before...

Ok guys. Got her done today. My poor husband just about passed out when we took the whole thing and put it on the kitchen island to cut it up. Poor guy doesn't have the stomach for these kind of things. I really should have put the probe a bit further down in the fridge. The meat and fridge...

We put an eye bolt through the top to hang the whole thing from. No shelf or drawers left in it. Last time we used the fridge it cooled very well but we haven't used it in about two months so not sure. I have a double probe thermometer in there. The meat is still reading as 41° (middle of rear...

we had to make a choice with our very difficult ewe and we decided to cull her and put her in the freezer. Mind you this was our first time butchering at home. The process went well (ish) and we managed to get her gigantic ass in the fridge to cool down. Well here is the problem. Our fridge...

There is about a month difference between the two but they are almost the same height. Bottom is the bottle lamb and he just got weaned this week. He was not happy 🤣 It's hard for me to picture what these guys will look like when they grow up.

No I always love advice! Please don't hold back :thumbsup I just realized that the bottle baby is in my profile picture. That was him at about 1-2 weeks old though so he is kinda scrawny in that picture compared to today. he is about 4 weeks hereblack head second from the right is my other ram...

luckily I have some time to make some decisions.

So he turned into a bottle baby at almost 3 weeks when his mom died suddenly. She was old and had a heart attack when we caught her to vaccinate and worm her. I will get some good pictures of my two rams so you can see what I'm working with. I like the idea of halter training him. I definitely...

I'm thinking that is what we are going to have to do. We don't have banding equipment and I hear they put on weight better when they aren't castrated. I have to make a decision here soon who I'm going to keep of my ram lambs as the sire for the next generation. The first born looks like he is...
