Stupid heart went from mild pain back to seriously bad. This time the single lead ECG looks normal except that I'm laying down and pulse is going 78-110.

Halter monitor is tomorrow. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž๐Ÿคž Something shows up.
You are getting halter monitor today. Now you an get some answers and doctors can see whatโ€™s going on

Your pond has almost disappeared. In your present circumstances hiring a track hoe to dig it out is the last thing on your list. Put it on your someday list.

I HATE being sick!!!! It is nice out, only 74F at 8am. I normally would be up early and work on farm before it heats up. Then take a nap during midday and repeat.

Today, the approx 10 min slow walk to sheep shed and back to get sheep to graze home acre did me in. I'm all trembly and sweating buckets like I've been working for hours outside.

2024 Mid-Year Update
Growth:
- Born 14 lambs from 8 ewes (6 ewes, 8 rams). That is really good 1.75 lamb per ewe considering first fresheners.
- Purchased ewe: Scarf
- Keeping ewe lamb Socks out of Oreo
- Second livestock guardian dog on property in March

Loss:
- Lambs died natural causes (ewe: Dottie's stillborn, Sesame, ram: Righty). Not as great 21% mortality rate but small herd size screws numbers.
- Predator loss 4 (ewe: vanilla, wethers: 2403, Big Twin, Panda ๐Ÿ˜ญ )

Profit:
- Sold 2 registered ewes: Cocoa, Cinnamon
- Sold 3 ram lambs for meat
- Potential sales: registered ewe Coconut and 3 lambs for meat.
