So, so hot this week.

We are usually a little cooler over here in the valley, but we have been hot also. My recording thermometer was 97 in the direct sun, but most other thermometers were around 94...
We are also terribly dry. It rained south of here in Roanoke and over into Floyd Va they got a gully washer of 5 inches in about 20 minutes... on Monday. Also north of here got about 1/2-3/4 inch in Staunton... So hit and miss. Hope you got some of it. Lots of dark clouds here but nothing liquid. Pastures are getting dry already since we have been low in rainfall all through the spring; although we were cool it was much windier for days on end than normal, and that just sucks it out of the ground.

Glad you got some more leaving and off the feed bill. They are cute though.

Getting dry n crispy, yet wet air.

Little meter I got for the barn. The round spring analog ones break so fast for some reason.

Some keeper ewelings


I didn't have her shorn because the last 2 years, flies have been eating her spine. Glue doesn't stick, she shreds coats, so was the only other thing i could try.

It rained a few drops last night. Caught 5 of 6 final ram lambs. Had to get them to stop eating my grass.

Have a few rabbit culls to get through, then these will start going, too. Some good looking ones in the mix.

 

[Mini Horses]

They are nice but....when you cull this young, are any used for own cooking -- or are they too small? I'd think, whole, grilled would work recently weaned, so milk fed

 

[secuono]

Caught the last one.

Caught Raichu & the 6 sale ewes, too. *phew*


6 ewes are now sold cheap w/o papers. Should be leaving soon.
