Most of what they are getting now is orchard grass. I was pleasantly surprised to see they go for young Johnson Grass as soon as it starts to grow. They are mostly wasting the hay I'm giving but they get some good alfalfa every day.
I saw the Ortho Doctor today and he said that the MRI didn't show the whole story and that due to some edemma over the rotator for cuff after such a long time it's likely that it is torn all of the way through. He's working on setting up an orthoscopic surgery that will go in to see what is the minimum that can be done and best case that is enough. If it isn't enough he can then go in and put everything back together like it's supposed to be.
Either way it's fixable and I can't continue with what I have been doing so we will see how the insurance plays out.
Yeah, you don't want to keep putting up with the pain. Get it fixed, do your therapy and you will be better than new! If you are anything like my husband, Teresa will have to clonk you in the head to keep you from going out and doing something you shouldn't!
We just had a good visit with the UT Extension Sheep Specialist that was super informative. We are going to have him speak at a sheep association that we are having in April and he wanted to do a farm visit to see how he could integrate his seminar using our facilities.
We learned a lot but were also pleased to see that we have a good foundation going at our farm.
