It's always funny watching them go through water. If you had to put a caption over them it would be something like "Ouch Ouch Ouch Ouch" for every step.
We have officially started the last of our birthing ewes. She had this one about an half hour ago
....It's a boy! Going to go out and check on her again when the storms settle a little bit. She decided to give birth just as the storms started up. The other two ewes look like they are ready anytime! Yay!!!
June 1st-Ram lamb (single)-healthy
June 3rd-Ram lamb(single)-healthy
Have had two lambs show up with a skin dermatitis due to tick bites-overrun with ticks this year!! Even the dog has had issues despite the different preventions applied.
Used Vetricyn twice to heal up-miracle med!!
One ewe had bag rash looked to be from possible urine run off pooled up on bottom of bag caked up with dirt/hair causing a rash...no open sores visible-applied Vetricyn liberally.
Wormed all including Ram and Goaty Goat with Valbazen. Recommended dosage for each. Tagged last three adult ewes.
Have continued to feed oats/shelled corn once a day in addition to their pasture and round bale. Added round bale this last Monday due to our dry weather conditions previous to this weeks rain. 3" last couple days. temps last week and half upper 90's until the rains hit. dried grass out, slowed growth with high temps. rains have definitely jump started grass again.
Lick tub(mineral) and white salt lick offered as free choice.
Cleaned out loafing shed, applied fresh straw.
