2016, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

I was adding a tarp to the creep area and Cloud ran in after I refilled the bin. He watched me between bites, while I put up the tarp. Hopefully that is a sign that it's working to make them more friendly.

Shearing day is tomorrow!
Set up an area by the house. Will move the ladies in tomorrow around noon, then lead the rams to the adjoining yard. Once the shearers arrive, I'll lead the rams over first, then lead them back out. Then have the ewes go into the wide end, close it off and then press them against the fenceline so they are lined up one by one. Should be able to pull out one at a time then and have DH scooch up the others as we go. Ladies will be let out back into that yard to their waiting lambs.
DH will be home this year to, hopefully, help. And I'm hoping to be able to trim feet before the shearers come and then do vaccines afterwards.
Hopefully the picture makes sense, will be the first time I try a squeeze shoot.

Looks like it might be getting warm there. If so, I imagine they'll be real happy to offload those wool coats. Waiting for pics of the production line in progress

The wood is for the shearer to stand and work the sheep.

Working on making friends with the lambs and Surry.

Treats have really made most extra willing to come see me.
Shelly doesn't care for treats, she's a snob...lol.


Surry

Ooooh, what a headache I have now! X_X
Anyway, sheep are officially naked, but I still need to go back out for their shots, trims, heights and deworming. I don't wanna go...lol
