NEWTON!!!!!
Been wondering how you are. Wow, it is going to be an odd relationship with your brother with that age span. We thought DW's dad being 16 years younger than his oldest sister was a gap. Congrats to the family.

I wouldn't know if your sheep are pregnant or fat ... until the gestation period is over and there either are or are not lambs hitting the ground

Lol more of a rehtorical question on the pregnancy of the sheep i have as much of a clue as the next person lmfao.
And its great to be back, and damn! Glad to know im not the only one with a big age difference between siblings lol

There is almost 20yrs difference between my sister's oldest and youngest. So, ya still working at the dairy? Have ya got used to the routine? I think the ewe code is similar to the doe code so ya best be prepared....

Argh im starting to dislike all these codes .
Ya i am still working on the dairy farm.... my boss doesnt like me much or so it seems. Though im used to the routine its honestly a pain in the butt because i havent had a day off in weeks and find myself doing the early shift every single day. Which means 6-8 hours every day before college then 6 hours of class (plus he always pays me two weeks late.....)

That does make for a long day for ya, and maybe before too long ya can get a job in your field of study....that would really help ya a whole bunch....

Yep @CntryBoy777 and being able to put that "I'm very responsible and a hard worker" on your next job application is a good thing @newton the goat .

Ya i guess that would be something good to be able to put on my next job aplication/resume.

I am so happy! I met a lady on fb who has just bred her flock to thw most amazing looking rams!

i am so jealous of these boys coloring!

I have asked to purchase one of the ram lambs if her ewes drop any this years (esspecially ones bred to the first ram ) guess if i do get one ill need to either go on a long ass road trip to get him or figure out some way to ship him to me

 

[Bruce]

Dare I ask just WHERE this lady lives? Of course those of us south of the border can't really help, no desire to figure out getting sheep through customs.

But anyways, to change topics from the sheep; so far our animal count has changed a bit in the past month. We managed to get 6 of our 8 pigs into a trailer and hauled off to butcher, frustratingly enough we eere able to get our full boar and a sow who just HAD to go into heat that day in.... so guess who has piglets for march ....... fun.....

And by the looks of our girls we should have our flock of sheep doubled in the next month or two.

Im excited for all the new lambs!
Speaking of new babies, my brother shoukd be arriving on the 30t! Ive been laughing at the thought that the sheep may drop the same day he is born my step mother is having none of it though and doesnt appreciate me pointing out the possibility of it happening (she doesnt like how funny i find the possibility and gets annoyed everytime i joke about it )

But other than all the baby news, school has been going well! Im working on getting a butcher near me to let me do my co-op hours in their shop! So far he has told my teacher he thinks i may be a bit hyperactive, and she responds by assuring him that that isnt the case and that im just socially awkward (thanks teach )
Welp lets hope i make it through a trial run to his liking! Wish me luck!
