Bridgemoof--Sheep & Wool festival

[jodief100]

My husband has a fit when I buy animals withotu thinking about where I am going to put them. We had a serious issue with birds last year. He makes me deal with them so I am learning. It is not like I plan on it. I always "think" I will have housing done when they are big enough to need it but it doesn't always work that way.

Well, as long as they are fleece lined crabby pants

 

[bonbean01]

Why yes...as a matter of fact, they are fleece lined crabby pants

I only have one pair of lined jeans...so...will wash them in the evening, put the dryer on high before going to bed...put the dryer back on in the morning to warm them, then get dressed right out the dryer...I need another pair of these...with the wicked cold wind out there right now and temps dropping, was glad to have these fleece lined crabby pants on

Bon I was thinking about your fleece lined crabby pants when I was outside. I have my long undies on, but my legs were still a little cold.

Everybody was moved around again today. Was that today? Yes, I think it was. I don't even know who is where anymore. I do know the momma goats and the baby goats are in the big pasture out back, and my big sheep are all crammed into a small paddock and shed. The pregnant sheep are with them. The pregnant goats are in a horse stall. The Jacobs are still roaming the corridor. Uriah has been such a brat I refuse to even go back there. I've been making Tim do it. Tim says "Uriah is NOT dangerous. You aren't hitting him hard enough. He's NOT going to hurt you. You are bigger than him. You're not even hitting him." I hit the brat like 20 times and he's still coming after me. I am his lunch. I really wish Uriah would get Tim one time in a very sensitive spot. But then again, Tim would probably kill him
Tim had Mikey, our boer buck, tied up working on his hooves and Uriah was pummeling poor Mikey. Tim thought it was FUNNY.

WE have this one Finn sheep, Soshy, who is such a runt. She is one of the big dollar registered Finns and it is an embarrassment. I believe she is the perpetrator of the lice problem, and I think it's made her anemic. The other day when we treated them, we sheared her half way, we also gave her a Vit B shot. She still has wool, but shorter. She has been pretty chilly with this cold snap. I ended up putting a blue suede vest on her with elastic bands I safety pinned around her legs. She looks so pathetic, in fact I think the other sheep have been picking on her and laughing at her. Anyways, she has been cold and found a space UNDER the house to sleep. It's just a crawl space, and usually the dogs hang out there. Well, she has parked herself there and only comes out at feeding time. She is so lightweight even I could pick her up. I put a halter on her today and took her into the barnyard for a "walk" and to get some extra corn. I wanted to see if she was sick or just found a snuggly spot. I gave her leftover green beans we had last night, too. She's like a little mangy dog, but she's ok.

Well at least I got my work done today. Whew! And I took an hour nap. And I made brownies. And I made meatloaf. Thanks for all the hugs and support you guys!

Busy day! I guess most of your days are busy.

I would get really frustrated having to move everyone everyday too. It is one thing if your doing it for fun, like when I take my Andy or the goat girls for a walk to the back, but having to do it... and all the time.....No thanks!

I really feel for you.

I always want to read your journal first....I don't usually post but I enjoy it quite a bit.

You've had a busy day! Glad you got a nap in there

And now you've done it...I am craving brownies

I bought some brownie mixes today to make with the kids! I'll probably make some tomorrow or sometime this weekend.

My dad use to be the same way with Henry. Today Henry knocked him down and was still going after him. My dads a pretty big guy, six foot plus. I guess he won't be laughing at me any more.

 

[bonbean01]

Marlow...you're killing me...craving brownies real bad right now and you are making more tomorrow????

I woke p at 3 a.m. (THANKS BON!) No, actually Tim got up to go check on #26. He thought *maybe* she would give birth since it was a full moon. NOT> So I was laying in bed laughing at you guys. And I was imagining you guys probably think my posts look like this:
