Buford figured it out! I took picture from my front porch, so proud of him!

A couple days ago, was driving in, passed the Texas Five pen. They ran to the far corner. I stopped, backed up and started talking to them. They came to the fence, probably wondering how that Monster Car sounded like their Mommy.

This morning, after “breakfast “ I gave the Texas Five more hay. I reached over and he fence to scratch Granny, P15, and Cleopatra came up, so I scratched under her chin too!

I moved Cooper and his 8 girls across the driveway yesterday evening. I put Sheba and Buford up for the night. Buford excitedly licked Cooper’s face and Cooper butted him. Buford ran under the Dog Tower. The ewes stuck their heads under the tower, sniffing Buford, this scared him some more, and I got him to climb up on the tower platform. Safe! Sheba got butted. Ringo never butted her and she was confused, but figured it out fast. MOVE!

I grabbed Cooper under the chin and slapped his face. No! My dog! No!

This morning as day is dawning, Sheba is on the tower, Buford’s tail is wagging as he circulates in the flock. He sniffed Cooper, then laid down. They will figure this out.

Eve is due April 7, Lucy is due April 16, both are HUGE. When Eve lays down, her breathing sounds hard. She’s heaving for every breath. Did I over feed her and she is fat? Big lambs? Or is Eve going to have triplets? Lucy isn’t breathing hard, but she is big.

Dessa is still being Dessa.

The 3 ewes I had with Ringo may be due in April. He bred one of them every 3 weeks, another a couple of times and one only once. Shooting blanks? Dunno. Are they really pregnant? Dunno.

These are the 3 registered ewes that I never got papers on. 8 months later I finally got a text admitting that she never registered them. Then she no longer responded to my efforts to contact her. On a Texas Katahdin Facebook group, @Margali alerted me to a post. Same woman sold a registered ram and the poster couldn’t get papers on him. This awful woman wouldn’t respond to repeated requests for the registration papers. Boy, did I ever unload on that awful woman. I called her out by name, called her a liar and a thief and every thing else I could think of, that wouldn’t get me thrown in Facebook jail. LOL I lambasted her.

A few weeks later, Awful Woman texted me asking for ear tag numbers and my address. A couple weeks after that I received another text saying that she had just completed registration online and I should be receiving papers soon.

So maybe, just maybe, I’ll get registration papers, and maybe, just maybe, they are pregnant and maybe, just maybe, I’ll wind up with registered offspring from my beloved Ringo. Maybe.
