The ewes were highly cooperative this morning. Creepily so!
So little flailing or fighting, no chasing at all. I'd open a gate, they came calmly through. Another gate, same thing. Then I was setting up a catch area and they...all slowly filled in long before I was ready! Still getting the panel into place and in they went! 🤯 I was flabbergasted!

Plutonium's group
He's a mellow guy, so they're going out to the winter field.

WallaWalla-BingBang group
He's a turd this year, so they went away to the other side of the barn where I won't accidentally come across him. He'll be listed January 1st.

Yeah, they're constantly pushing me to sell them all off. Just nonstop troubles. A dozen stuck sheep, all fenced trees eaten, fencing being repeatedly broken, aholes refusing to eat hay and starve themselves. :barnie :he:somad

2030 may really be sheepless.

This morning, Hawthorn decided to get stuck because rotting old dead grass is better than easy access hay....

22 ewes.
1 not registered I still need to sell off.
Seadra & Tatiana retiring here.
3 fiber mutts. Hmm. Idk. That would make 5 non-babydolls and that sucks....
So, 21 minus 5, leaves me with 16. So, 6+ adults I've got to sell.
Then! Sell adults that I keep lambs from. AKA, only 10 Babydoll ewes get to stay for year 2027.
All their shenanigans are making me feel like I can easily choose, but, we all know that ain't true! 😅
