We went and picked up our alfalfa and I had forgotten how heavy those big square bales are.

I really liked the bluntness and cynicism of that non-touchy/feelie character. Except for his addiction, he is my kinda guy and my kind of Dr.

We picked up the sheep we took in last week and it turned out pretty. I'm going to start having all of our future freezer sheep processed the same way. We told them we wanted the maximum number of steaks and chops. The steaks may be if anything a bit too thick but they sure are pretty. Cutting this way eliminates having legs of lamb that you need 10 people over to eat it and instead got many steaks and chops instead. The steaks cut out of the neck are cool looking but I've never tasted it prepped that way.

I'm sure we could help you eat that leg of lamb.
I decided to buy a lamb chop for my DS last week. I grilled the sirloin steak for DH and I and the lamb chop for DS. He pretty much devoured it lol. I did "steal" a couple of pieces off his plate to try.

We eat more sheep than anything else. We still have quite a bit of beef from the one we split with our neighbor but we have fed them enough sheep that they want to swap equal value sheep for beef.
We are losing some eggs and it's during the day time. Twice now we have found bits of shell but in most cases we haven't found anything other than bits of yolk. We're thinking snake so we have put the game cameras out again.

Have these hens been laying for awhile? Late in laying cycle, close to going into a molt, the hens are getting "laid out" and egg shells tend to get thinner even with plenty of calcium/oyster shells. More easily broken by a toenail going through the shell in a softer spot. Also, the hens tend to become more likely to want to eat eggs late in cycle too... who knows why.
But it could very well be rodents....

Your maximum steaks cuts sounds interesting. Could you post pictures? I have mine cut into chops, ribs, leg of lamb and burger.
