Hi Herd -
I can't say I own the sheep and goats, but I share the land with our neighbors who do own them. We live in Grants Pass, OR, just outside of town. There are 16 sheep + lambs, 9 of which are ewes, 3 goats, 2 of them, nannies - both expecting; and a pony and a horse, and a few ducks. I am pretty sure neither of us knows much about lambing and kidding since both are coming our way fast. Also name a subject and likely we do not know it. My neighbor grew up with goats, cows, sheep in a foreign country and they didn't use vets, worm their animals, or tag them, and me? Well all I have to do is look at the internet and see that I am out of my depth. That said, I am excited to see what their plans are next! Oh, they also have chickens but we feed/water them and clean their coop. Now we'll be helping with the milking and lambing/kidding.
