Just got through with completing a bunch of filling out forms and ordering and I now have a Flock ID and PIN ID (Outside of KHSI). This was what I needed to complete to order my (approved and official) ear tags for commercial ewes I want to breed to my registered ram to record. The ear tags, as...

Just got through and both Petunia and Buster are sold and going to a petting zoo! Though I don't like to say the excact price online, it was a good price for both of us. I see a bright future ahead for Petunia and Buster. ❤️

Petting zoo people coming to look at Petunia today!

Yeah thanks for the reminder. I never post much of my personal imformation, ESPECIALLY Facebook. Only rare occasians and places like BYH. Still, I never say my actual name or adress.

My Sheep and I - 06/11/25 I'm starting a journal!

Washed up some sheep: Petunia and Buster are finding a new home. They were my only bottle babies. Petunia is about 9 months and Buster about 6 months. They were posted on Facebook and we already have some people interested. Petunia or both will probably be going to a local petting zoo in...

My birthday is on the 24th. Tomorrow will make a week and I am so excited!!

Here is the farm website that I am getting my registered ram from if anybody would like to see: http://rockingtlcfarms.com/

I won't be on BYH on September 25th because I will be traveling to Arkansas to get my first registered ram! He is about 6 months old and is about the same age as my 1st gen. ewes. I will breed probable in spring for fall lambs. So I should have some 2nd gen. lambs (hopefully ewes) and 1st gen...

Wow thanks! It's been a real journey since getting my first lamb in July of 2023, when I was 9. Before and even after getting my first lamb, I never imagined of starting my own flock of sheep. After having a ewe and ram in 2024, I still never thought I would make it this far. Now I will be 12...

Hey guys, you know the drill, I've been busy.. o_O Here's a quick update. Salt's diarreah is going away and she is gaining weight again. The shots did NOT help. We brought in Noel to the vet about a week ago and they scraped it for a lab test. The test said it was bacterial and the vet...

Welcome to the club from Louisiana. I am in the business of Katahdin and a couple of Barbados Blackbelly sheep. I haven't looked into vaccinations for sheep unless I have a medical problem. For deworming, sticking with one souce allows worms to become immune over time. Just as @SageHill said, I...

I figured it was a pretty old technique!

@akroberts 1085 @fuzzi I just finished it. https://www.backyardherds.com/threads/canning-goods-pressure-water-bath.45004/

Hey everyone, I was suggested to start a thread about my canning experience to educate people willing to begin this journey. I am Sheepfarmer from Louisiana, I am almost 12 years old and have been canning goods with my mom for some good time now. I find it a very good thing to know and keep on...

@fuzzi I will get to work on a thread for my pressure/water bath canning in the hobbies forum for everybody, including myself. Thanks for suggestion!

Average amount of sealed jars increased when i started trying that.

Never heard of using paraffin for canning. When I water bath can my own pickles, I wipe the edges of a mason jar with vinegar using a paper towel to prevent anti-sealing dill and other grime along the rim.
