Teresa & Mike CHS - Our journal

Summer got here and it doesn't look like there is any reason to wait on a cooler day to go down to Alabama to pick up the ewe lambs. I had all new tires put on my stock trailer a few weeks ago and somehow in the process of getting tires arranged, my spare rim didn't make it back to the trailer. I have the spare tire but no rim so I went up to a trailer store not far away and got a rim and had the spare tire mounted. It's not in the best of shape but it's good enough to get me off the road if need be. I'll replace it next week when things get back to normal. Murphy's Law says that if you haul a trailer to Alabama and back without a spare, you WILL have a flat and I can see some lamb being cooked on the side of the road inside a black trailer.

Always best to have and not need, than to need and not have is my way of thinking.....

Just make sure that you have a cooler of drinks and maybe some chips so you can enjoy your side of the road BBQ.

We are leaving around 4 in the morning so we should be back home before it gets too hot.

I didn't notice till today that our trailer is like the one that @Latestarter used so I guess we won't be hauling any pigs in this trailer as is.

When pigs fly.............

Just a word of caution... I've heard that sheep can fly too!

Y’all are really tickling my funny bone this morning!!

Yeah sheep can jump better than pigs! Have a good trip Mike.

Our 4 new arrivals are out in their paddock and don't seem to be stressed at all. Fortunately there has been a nice cloud cover all day and it was still in the high 70's when we pulled in to home. They had managed to get into a bucket of protein yesterday so they all have loose stools. I'm glad we know these folks since I pulled a real boneheaded thing this morning. I am the one that counted out the money to pay for the sheep and this envelope normally only contains a number of $100 bills. I didn't have my glasses on and the room was mostly dark but I counted out 10 bills "assuming" they were $100's. I didn't know that Teresa had swapped a couple of bills with $20 bills so I wasn't aware I had $200 instead of the $1000 I was expecting to see in my wallet to pay them the balance of what we owed.

You might also remember that I said the other day we were getting 3 ewe lambs from them and somehow a 4th one wound up in the trailer.

The lambs managed to get into a tub of protein mix yesterday so they all have loose stools.

I know that Feelin.............
They sure look really Good....and love the spots they have....
