5 days left...
I need to divide the fenced area around the barn into two so that two opposite groups can use the barn for shelter.
Have a tarp to stake over a shared fence in the row of 3 paddocks.
I need to buy one more tarp for the two middle paddocks in that 4 paddock section.

This year, I'm using a visual sheet that tells me paddock number & which animal belongs to it, since there are so many to remember. That's the sheet pictured below. :)

Hmm, finally some sun!

I feel like waiting until Friday to start this year's breeding session... Maybe the barn will be dry by then, so I can trim hooves w/o getting covered in....oh darn, there is no poop smilie on this forum. :(

Looks like rain tomorrow afternoon. If I can get 3 new waterers & finish the hosing, I will try to get everyone in their groups. If not, I'll wait until Friday.

Ewes out grazing like normal.
