2023, Waiting on Lambs!

Wound feels and looks healed enough, so, I put her outside with the other dry ewes this morning.

Glad the ewe’s leg is healing up.
How do you restrain the sheep when drawing blood?

Snubbed nose up high to the fence and used a 2nd lead around the loin to keep them parallel up against it.

I bet a horse cinch for the body restraint would work good.

Moooved the moos to the backyard.


Redid the bottle lamb area to make it 3-4× larger. 206 & 207 rans are being dumb about food/weaning, so they moved in so food is right under their lazy faces.

Bottle girls. Down from 4 16oz bottles to 4 8oz ones. They were pudgy! And not eating grain and ruining nips too much...


Good lambs eating hay.


Gonna move them soon. Gotta mow the weeds...

New bale time real soon.
Sassafras & a ram lamb are leaving soon. Will pen them up tonight.

Moved the yearlings & dry ewes to the next paddock.

Waiting on buyer.

Office time today!

Divided up sheep by sire, to decide who to sell. Still deciding on Lapras, might keep for one more breeding, then sell. Yearling Tiddlywink & lamb Erketu have been listed.
Have too many carriers, going to try to get ewelings out of them the next 1-3yrs, then sell. Still too many Oreo & Magnemite ewes...



First draft 2023 breeding groups. All lambs will be separated in barnyard. This is minus the 4 adult ewes that are for sale. If they don't sell, I'll toss them in with somebody.


Then, I updated my cards & realized that these are missing CoRs! So, I'll be contacting the registries to find out if they're lost or not registered bc I'm a horribly stressed airhead.
