2022 Waiting on Lambs Journal

Your sheep are so cute!

Can I ask where you send sample for Codon testing?

GeneCheck or NeoGen.
I'm sure other labs also offer it.

Gravel is going to continue to be a problem because so much is being hauled to the Amazon dist center being built there in Fishersville. Our friend has trucks and he said at the cattle meeting the other night that the price has NEARLY doubled and that they are having trouble getting it from any of the quarries around that they have been dealing with for years. DS said that he waited nearly 3 weeks for gravel from a guy and could not get the size he wanted... but took the load anyway since it was available... Be that way through the summer until they get the ACRES of concrete floor poured.

Just looked it up for curiosity.... 1 MILLION SQ FT facility... just about 23 acres under roof & concrete... some of the best flattish farmland in that part of the county. Expected to be up and running summer 2023....

Wait, what??
23 acres under roof? What's the building??

It is the new Amazon warehouse/distribution facility. You can look it up... Channel 29 news had a segment on it... I pulled it up on the internet.

Yuck. I dont know how anyone is supposed to do anything with lumber and apparently gravel prices.

It's that time of year again! Stalking back ends.

A few have been practicing the last few weeks & some have started an udder.

7 jugs are ready to go. Last two are wider and could be redone to make 3 jugs, since there's about 3ft left over.
Need to move my pan cam out there.

Finally got Evangeline's pic, plus redid a few others that looked wonky. Need to update website with their pics next.

Gravel is finally here!
