2024, Waiting on Lambs! 🤞 *Happy Thoughts* They're Here!😍

But...you have cattle eating there, too .

Not bad, actually. I use that many + bagged feed. Yeah 2.5- 3 bales a day, roughly 175#. That's why we're BROKE!!!

Needs top brace to keep them from shoving in towards it. And something better to keep bales centered and not pulled over where they waste it. Currently using strings. They still pulled some over.

Love the pic of them all waiting at the gate. And holy cow that's a tower of bales on the cart!

Our cows do that waiting at the gate, wanting the silage wagon... like they have never eaten before... like your sheep... they are so deprived and starving.....

Looks good in the barn.

They shoved the arena gate open yesterday. All 40ish of them stormed in to get the grass!
Chased most of them out and remembered about those other gates. Shooed them out that way, then chased the stragglers out.
Don't want trillions of tiny sheep poops left on the arena!

I should of remembered the gates before. Makes it much easier to haul hay over when I'm not battling 20 sheep at the arena gate, then tripping over another 20 sheep trying to pull the cart to the feeder!

Have you considered round bales?

Zero rounds were available. I've used them before. See previous threads.

5 more bales. 2 days tomorrow. Leaving it overnight for them to clean up the rest.

Boy, am I tired of rain. Hope it calms down once lambs start arriving.

4 bales and the stems from the previous bales shoved over.

Grass coming in!

Getting the barn ready for lambs. 6 jugs are up. Using rubber mats this time, but only have enough for 5. Using 4 for the cow shelter and 3 at the house, but I think I'll take one of those so all 6 have a mat.
Next Thursday is the earliest date they could show.
