Coffee anyone ?

Does she use a left handed bolt action?

I have a rifle from 1938 with the original soldiers name the rifle was issued to in the buttstock, all matching numbers and is a straight pull bolt action rifle. Holds the Guinness World Record of longest no scope shot of a mile.
Doesn’t do sub MOA shots like todays rifles, but for its time it and to this day it’s accurate. On a cold bore shot with 5 rounds at 700 meters I put them within 3 inches of each other. That was the day the wife learned what I did in the service without speaking a word.
No never was a sniper people before anyone ask, not Special Forces or Rangers.

Beautiful morning sunrise…

Humbug had her lambs Christmas Day. (Brain fog did I post her?) Today saw 5 lambs born, two Racka singles, PDS twins one of which Moses killed and wait- one more set of PDS twins to the worst mom. This morning early Moses was found with a partially eaten lamb. It was a twin from a difficult birth based on how mom looks. She’s better and caring for her surviving lamb. Moses was punished and bell of shame applied. He’ll be with the sheep only with supervision. It’s disheartening but I’ve just got to work him through it. Caddo is the afterbirth clean up specialist, maybe it was just a mistaken grab on Moses’s part but he should’ve known better. He is out of good guardian stock. A big bump in the road but I’ll manage.

One white among all the color? What I notice are all the white tails .

Beautiful lambs.

@Blue Sky im sorry Moses is giving you grief. I know you will keep working with him. Do you call your sheep in at night and pen them overnight? Maybe pen Moses during the day, let sheep out, pen sheep at night, let Moses out.
My dog Sentry was perfect except for one annoying habit-he stole newborns, licked all the birthing goop off and they died. Once I figured that out, I separated heavy bred ewes. I only have 2 fenced fields, so I put Sentry with ewes and lambs after the lambs were up, nursing and dry. Bad habit, but I worked around it.

Cold. It's low teens, staying in 20s all day, thanks to wind-chill. Goats aren't really liking it either! Supposedly snow begins Fri night, leaving white & marching on its way, Sat morn who knows until it happens. Ready as I can get, not liking any of it.

Seeing the fires in CA, the flood people without housing or stores to shop & no jobs for $$ -- it makes me consider how blessed I am to complain about only cold & snow.

Warm day 16°F this morning, was really warm at 38°F yesterday melting snow with rain that turned into a blizzard on the way home. Wonder what it looks like this morning.

Me too. Hubbs’ brother and family live in LA, presently they are safe but that could change. I hope they’ve prepared themselves to leave.
Moses and Caddo have a run adjacent to my safe pen/barn. Caddo can live with the sheep but I didn’t want him pestering ewes for afterbirth. The Boys spoiled me. They lived with the flock full time under all circumstances. Crockett would occasionally take a break from Astro physics and lick a lamb. Smitty would interrupt a conference call with (someone important fill in the blank, I got nothin’ need coffee)- to lick a lamb and return it to the flock. Yep I was Spoiled. The safe pen is hot wired now. I guess I don’t need dogs in there. Snow and ice on the way.
