We are starting to wean the bottle lamb and he doesn't seem to mind as much as those in the field. Of course, he gets feed on a regular basis and I cut grass to bring him and Jack. I'm not sure what we are going to do with Jack since he isn't showing any ram traits and has adjusted to being...

Wherever you see Oshi, Maisy is only about 20 feet away.

Oshi is definitely setting me up for future pain but I will continue to do what I'm doing. He has decided that ear scratches feel good and I'm the only one giving them to him so he will challenge Maisy's space protecting me to get in range to get more scratches. :) I have no doubt that at...

I don't think anything can keep Teresa down for long. She had jet lag for a day and then she is up doing max cleaning. :) We will bringing all of the sheep in again in the next couple of days since we need to sort the commercial ewes and the registered since we have buyers coming back next...

Funny how that works. We bought our first six registered ewes and we now have only two of them left since the other four were culled.

Jan - the difference was night and day. Her first flight left on time and the second arrived exactly on schedule. She did have a great time. Her daughter and the Son-in-Law work for Tesla so there was some wondering if they would be caught up in the layoffs that just happened at Tesla. Both...

I went and picked up Teresa at BNA tonight. Her flight got in at 9:00 but by the time we got out of the airport, it was close to 9:30 and we just got home a little earlier. I need to remind myself not to try doing a beef brisket when I have to leave for the airport. The brisket was hanging at...

Real estate prices have gotten ridiculous around here and in an amazingly short time. We are only 65 miles from Nashville and 50 miles from Franklin which is the new high tech hub for Tennessee. Several auto plants are now in Spring Hill which is only 28 miles away. When we bought our 19...

I smoked three racks of ribs and a pork shoulder today and they were awesome. I pulled the pork shoulder into one pound servings and the ribs I did a half rack in each bag so we have enough smoked meat to last for awhile, We had some contractors come out this morning for our electric company...

She has a full week so she has time to rest up and visit with the family.

Her aircraft just left the gate so hopefully she will be at Reno in an hour.

I dropped Teresa off at the Nashville airport at 5:30 this morning for her trip to Reno and she still hasn't gotten there after a canceled flight, delay departing Nashville and another flight change in Denver that resulted in an almost five hour layover. I just checked and they are scheduled to...

Kroger had a decent sale on their smoking type meats so I went in to pick up a few things and got enough ribs, brisket and pork butt to have a nice smoker session this week so we can have a bunch of pre-cooked meats.

We have one ewe that has been really good at carrying a parasite load up until this year. We had the same happen a couple of years ago with a ewe that was really hardy and we got the same meds. I need to talk to the vet to see exactly what it is but it works. You have to give the med for 4...

It has been a constant light rain this morning and the sheep are not in a hurry to go out and graze.

They don't need driving to come in. :)

We finished up the shots this morning for all of the lambs except Shadow the bottle lamb. We will get him today so that we can be ready to band him when Teresa gets back from visiting the daughter out in Reno. The other two kids will arrive a day later so they can all have about a week to...

But they will all be good Mommas based on what you are teaching them. :)

Their problem is, that is exactly where I will catch them. :)

They have no fear when they are coming in for feed. 50 pound Lance doesn't have a lot of edge on a thousand pounds of sheep coming in to eat. :)
