not much going on around here, dodging storms and trying to keep things together with all the wind. hen is still setting on the duck eggs. some of the younger ducks have taken to laying in the metal hens nest on the wall in the hen house. lot better for me, don't have to have an Easter egg hunt everyday and we know how much I like to eat duck eggs. had 2 huge black snakes in the barn the other day, caused JJ to have a small heart attack. she is coming 2 years old and has decided she is big enough to take on the world but 2 big snakes she wasn't sure of.
goats are doing good, still waiting on lambs and all is well with the world. youall take care.

I guess the cow's name is "Twisted".....least if she were mine that's what I'd call her, anyway....:)
I love watching clouds too, just haven't been able to just sit and watch 'em much right now. That'll change when we get in the house.....a porch and more Windiows.

idk what they call her, lol. new guy from texas bought the place down the road and replaced the angus who use to live there with a bunch of long horns and brahma crosses. dstr#1 lives around the corner from me and on the way to her house that old gal caught my eye. and the clouds were when I was at the barn with the girls. don't know why but the gloaming sp? is my favorite time of day and i'm usually outside at that time. happened to look to the south and there was that picture just waiting for me.

Maybe she was born during a tornado!

cool, wet, and stormy day and of course this is the day that two of the ewes decided to have their lambs. out side, in the rain. first up was cookie and her giant ram lamb. he already has to get on his knees to nurse. after I got him carried to the barn and dried of I went to the house and got a cup of coffee. went back in about an hour to check on them and there was brownie with her twins, soaking wet in the rain. got them carried in and dried them off and hoped the ewes wouldn't get them mixed up. the one thing I can say is that last years ram sure put some color on the lambs.

I am in love!! :love Wow! What beautiful spotty babies! :love That ram sure did spot up the place. Next to your Katahdins, Dorpers are pretty plain. My cross breds are spotty, but nothing like yours! Do you castrate the rams and serve them for dinner? :drool Are you keeping a ewe lamb?

What about the Katahdin rams? Do they get mean? All I've heard about Dorper rams is how onery and mean they are, but mine is pretty calm. He tagged me a couple of times, I immediately reacted and chased him off. He has half heartedly reared up in a charge a couple of times and I charged him and he ran off. LOL. Plastic grocery bags scare him to death too. ;)
