We are still giving the one ewe lamb a Penicillin shot daily for a couple more days so I put out a bit of feed and called the whole bunch in. The lambs all go to the creep feeder which makes it easy to see the numbers and give her the shot.
We will be bringing everyone in tomorrow to work on hooves and then move them to new pasture since our contractor is starting on our working area roof extension next week.

They do a lot of things that make me smile but that is one of the best. One of our registered ewes was getting pulled down by her big twins so I have been sneaking her more food than the others get. When I call them in the herd will go to the PVC troughs and I will go inside the shop door and partially close it. She will step up in the shop so I can close the door where the others can't see it but then I give her a bucket with feed.

On another note - Max has come a long way. He comes when I call even when I don't have a bucket. He likes to get scratches and will come stand next to me when I'm putting water in the troughs. He still hasn't figured out that Animal Crackers are edible but I have no gripes about anything else. He is laid back and waits patiently when I'm putting feed out. I intentionally walk around the feeding area not putting anything out just to see what his reaction might be but he moves with me with no aggression shown so far.

Good boy Max! Doesn't it make you smile to make such progress with him?

I walked Ringo and the girls to the pipeline this morning and I kept getting a sheep head up my butt, pushing me to go faster. I looked to see who it was, it was Little Cutie who wasn't being so cute at the moment. LOL
