Not so bad... have done much longer in total time OTR... I kinda set my limit at 20 hours now. Not as young as I ustawas... :\ By the time I get back home, I'll be ready and hopefully able to sleep :) If things get bad, I'll hit a rest area and catch a few hours nap time

I haven't posted any pictures of my two favorites in awhile so I took the camera out while I was doing my evening time with them. I had built a platform for Maisy's bowl since she doesn't like to eat from a bowl when it is on the ground but she decided to compromise and lay down while eating. :)

Maisy is my angel but Thor is turning into a good boy. He has a love/hate thing going on with the ram but it's all noise from both of them so I stay out of it (usually). Thor was a year old in July so he is getting close to being a mature one but a ways to go still. I got an email from an old friend that lives in the city and sees our posts on Facebook. He was wondering how I could stand having animals so close to the house? Our paddocks are as close to our house on two sides as is shown in these pictures. I don't know what I would do if we had more acreage since if I look out the windows and can't see my critters, I jump on the Polaris and go look. :)

It has been pouring down off and on till a little while ago so we decided to spend the time down by the shop and did some of what seems to be never ending grooming on Maisy. Even though he doesn't need it, Thor has to get some also or he pouts.

We brought the two ram lambs that are left so Teresa can run Fecals on them. One of them was from our pair of smallest twins and he isn't gaining like he should be so we will see. I'm going to run a Facebook ad for the oldest as a commercial ram primarily because his attitude is a carbon copy of Ringo's. He is laid back, moves slow and isn't the least bit pushy. That may be because of the way Ringo is around people.

We will fatten both of them up so if the biggest doesn't get a job with a commercial flock they will both be going to market along with a wether.
