Finally sold the chickens, but not before 3 hens being taken. Flm. Never the roo, but always the hens. W/e. Anyway, it was the same guy I sold off my pigs to years before.

Got the rams & pacas mowing the small barn area the horses use. Not much grass in the 7 paddocks. Need to close all but 2, one for ewes one for rams, to get grass growing.

Have nearly a week of rain coming.

Sheep will have to be locked up for 2 full days for shearing...They're going to be gross...This is why I hate late April shearing, that and having a small barn.

Moved 3 weanlings into the middle paddock, between rams and the aisle. 72, 73 & 74.
Reused the chicken coop as their shelter and feed station.
Next week, a few more will be moved in.

One lamb is being picked up tomorrow.

Bought a 10ft plastic gutter, end caps and 4 clips that keep it stable & attach to your house. Drilled holes on one end for drainage. I used wire through the clips and hung it onto the fence. Filled the old feeders, then the new one. Works great and costs 1/3 the price of one 3ft goat feeder!
