Oh sigh on Tractor Supply.
All my feed comes from local businesses 👍🏼. For other things, hog panels, buckets, wormers (that can’t be shipped here via online orders), vaccines, special orders (Purina sheep mineral), etc they have by far the lowest prices. So I guess my shopping there is...
I understand the feeling about AI. I was a software engineer back in the days of assembly coding. Then C. I did the first 911 system and the first voice over data (patent and all). When I left, the industry was moving to module type coding. Didn’t like what that meant (someone writes a module...
They truly amaze me. EVERY SINGLE DAY. And I thank God for them and being able to do what I am doing. When we’re out there it’s all calm and quiet. I hardly say a word. I am blest to be able to watch all the interactions between dogs and sheep and dogs-sheep.
Grazing with the two boyz again this morning. Sunday I felt that they were starting to figure out what each of their jobs was. I try to be quiet and say nothing - the dogs read sheep far better than I do - they can tell what the flock will do before they do it.

Most of the ewes that lambed gained weight! (Lambing from 1/2/24 to 2/18/24)
Mama ewe with triplets born 2/18 is down 7#, Black ewe with twin rams born 1/28 is down 5#.
Lambs range from 24# (smallest triplet born 2/18 5-6# less...

If it ends up a Zo x Ree litter, then could be a bitch from that back to Obi. Ya know, that could work IF the AI. Would take. Collection and storage fees apply 🫤 such is life.
Ya know, your posts have changed - from the work involved in the move to excitement with and in the work involved with the move I don’t think it’s in the actual words but read “in between the lines”. I’m excited for you!! 😊😊
To take them all away. The owner is not going to change overnight if at all. Add in with fewer animals there he will probably show up less often. You can make all sorts of offers but it won’t change the fact that the owner is either ignorant, stupid, or doesn’t or can’t care for the animals...
Yup. Obi has first dibs so to speak. He of course is Mr Polite 🫤 and the few times he’s tried in the past if the bitch says NO he stops. So could be one, the other, or both (of course then for sure I’d need to do DNA on the pups $$).
AI Been there, done that, with my Tervuren. Not what I will...
