Use electric fencing to confine them to a small area and they will eat EVERYTHING. Then move the fencing to another small patch and let them eat everything there. Repeat unti they have covered all the property and are back at the original section. Moving the fencing and water is the hardest...

Super eacy to do. Freeze the tomatoes, dump frozen tomatoes in sink, cover with water. Skins will slide off. Take frozen tomatoes and use your large heavy kitchen knife to chop them while they are partially frozen. They chop into a partilly frozen tomato slush and you just cook it down...

Lost one of last year's ram lambs last night. It choked on something, went into convulsions, and died in front of us. We could feel the big lump in its throat from whatever it choked on. Upsetting. This morning DH took it out and dumped it the Outer Limits of the hay field. Whie he was out...

I have some Valbazen so will worm with that next time. Bought the Zimectrin for tapeworm. Maybe I wll return it - it was expensive and I haven't used all of it yet.

Make sure to allow room to clear door handles when opening the dishwasher. Fuel for winter?

Another 5 days until she is officially late. 5 months and 5 days.

How long off school?

Finished the closet and then got the clothes back into my closet. Only one shelf now but that is ok. It looked kind of empty so transferred some clothes hanging in the closet in the office now that there is more room. Still have boxes of stuff under the bed that need to be sorted out. Should...

:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs:hugs Your famioy has had way too much bad stuff happening! You are in our prayers.

Definitely use Magic Marker in the ears. We tattooed our dairy goats and tagged our Boers. You can write their names and yur phone number in both ears. No need to clean it off later since it will wear off. Use alcohol to clean the inside of the ears first since goats and sheep have somewhat...

I don't think it is the same thing . . . . Unless the rain gets so bad you need a rowboat. The bad storms that hit you veered east and missed us. We have had dry warm weather until today. Yesterday was 85 degrees. Left the windows open all night to cool off the house. Today is misty...

:gigThat is what they call a "turn around steer". Oh no! Two more bottle calves? :( Sometimes s**t just happens. Sorry about the Sometimes not worth dealing with people that want to haggle you down on price. Just sell and get them gone. "Stupid" and "Turn Around" can go with them.

Another roadblock on the road to my double rodded closet. This one is human. DH came in last evening to inspect my work. I was about to install the upper rod supports. DH asked if I was going to paint the closet. Me: "No, just the areas where I had to patch the drywall." Disapproving...

Well, the simple project of removing the shelves, putting in new metal rod holders, and replacing the same rods came to a crashing halt - LITERALLY - as the heavy galvanized pipe Mr. MacDonald used as a clothes rod fell on my foot. :hit:hit:hit You can't say Mr. M did not build to last - the...

Didn't get out to the barn yesterday. Instead went shopping with DS1. First to return the slideouts that were the wrong size (ordered 14", got 11"). Next to Atwoods for another bag of salt, also picked up a bag of grower lamb with 16% protein. Hoping to get more growth on the lambs. Next...

LGDs are puppies until 2 years old (sometimes a bit longer). They see the lambs as their "besties" and "play" with them like they would wth pack members. Pack members bite and chew on each other - it is how they learn to fight and protect. Sheep are not chew toys, and your dogs need to be...

Good Times! Why have we - your good and understanding BYH friends - never heard this story? Tell us all!

Welcome! How old are your LGDs? Certain chasing behaviors are ore common at ertain ages when the LGD decided that the lambs are "besties" and they run with them. Chewig on a lamb is a big no-no. Remove the ram from the flock and pen him individually with the Pyr. Hopefully he will teach her...

Since the3rd mini-Saanen is cowhocked, maybe advertise all three and sell them as a group. Concentrate on the LaManchas.

DING DING DING! Blue ribbons to both contestants! Flowering quince it is! DS1 also identified it this morning (actually he showed me how to use the app). This just shows that you should not remove "ugly" shrubbery around your house before a year has passed and you can see what it is. There...
