I "mowed" the front yard with the weedwacker. It now needs raked, ugh. I am researching groundcovers to hopefully take place on grass around house and septic system. I already have big patches of horseherb and frogfruit by sheep shed.

I need a better handling system... it was sheep lassoing time to collect fecal samples. We'll see what the vet says tomorrow.

@Baymule I looked at the pdf from the vet today. The numbers she gave me were Per Slide not Per Gram. No wonder she asked why I tested.

So EPG is extremely low. I emailed to confirm grams poop used. I bet the drought helped in this respect killing eggs.

I hate being sick. Sinus infect turned to chest infection and the antibiotics are ripping my guts up.

So much to do and I'm stuck inside! 5 days till we leave for St Louis for the memorials. Animals aren't setup. Nice clothes haven't been purchased. 😱🥵

Doctor switch antibiotics and it's working without tearing me up. I'm officially at the manic sick stage where you need to lock up the tools.

So I cooked my lamb ribs. I tried salt & pepper, Herbs d Provencial, and Thai Curry as rubs. 2hrs at 250F. Cassandra liked the curry before AND after I told her it was sheep.😉

So critters are setup and SIL walked through things. The sheep have 4 square bales in feeder with 2 spare. I hope that should be enough for 5 sheep and 6 days.

ETA: Sister in Law will be feeding their grain each evening. She is also feeding the cats and checking water everyone.
