Just caught up on your journal. You have had some cutie-pie lambs!! So adorable! I don't band mine, I castrate with a knife, it's over in seconds and they heal right up. A friend showed me how the first year, talked me through it the second lambing with the first ram lamb. Then I did the next two all on my own!
Pigs are brilliant smart, they will keep you guessing! LOL So sorry about the loss of your poultry. Predators need to eat too, but not YOUR birds!

And die from the loss of blood through their lacerated tongues??
That's what DD1 (the emotional vegetarian) said when foxes took our hens. I say they need to eat something BESIDES the birds I raised from day old chicks. I have plenty of woodchucks they are MORE than welcome to!!
Time to move somewhere the people are a bit more honest @greybeard

It must be all those people that moved INTO Texas from SOMEWHERE ELSE that would steal your gate @greybeard

I'm even trying to get rid of woodchucks. Got some rodent bombs today to put in their tunnels.

Sounds like the movie Caddyshack to me......

Let me know how that works (and what product you use). Problem is the number of access holes and their location. I know there is one under the pile of timbers in front of the barn. Some of those timbers are 10x12. I have no heavy equipment to move them so no way I can get to that tunnel. I ASSUME the tunnel in the hay mow (ie dirt and rock collection) I filled in and the one in the rock pile north of the barn connect to the one under the timber pile.

So where has luv been this week?
Well I was preparing for the biggest Ag event at my school.. Barnyard Days! Ever year over a thousand kids from local schools come to our school to learn about different aspects of agriculture! This year we had 12 exhibits which showcased everything from goats to tractors. I brought S'more, Bolero, Rosie, Stella, and Brutus. The alpacas were very well behaved and didnt spit or kick. Rosie was very loud but she calmed down on the second day and got lots of treats to keep her happy. I also got to see my preschool teacher who I haven't seen since 6th grade. It was a great event and lots of fun! Not only did we come with animals we brought a few home too! We have 8 new chicks who my silkie has adopted even though she wasnt broody at all. She is seriously the best mama! Also a girl was giving away 7 two month old pullets and how could I say no..I mean come on free layers! It doesnt get much better than that
My beautiful Cirra and her new babies
My new pullets, cant wait for eggs!
And here are some pics from the event!
ETA: My chicken who was injured in the attack is doing great, I was very worried she may never get use in her right leg but I have seen some promising improvements. When I first found her she had no use in her leg, her toes were curled and she used her wing as a brace when she would stand. Now I am seeing her lift her leg and her toes are normal again. It is evident she does not have full use of her leg.. but to know I saved her life fills me with so much joy. And the fact her toes are normal again is just
