Symphony and her girls are quickly becoming favorites. Although she did drop them off in my lap today and then wandered off to eat.

11 sheep from my barn went off to the sale barn this morning. 2 cull ewes, 2 yearling rams, 2 adult wethers, and 5 lambs.
My BIL/sister sent 26 ram lambs and a cull ewe.

Always a little bitter sweet to make culling decisions.... can't keep them all... Hate it when we have a few favored ones that just don't cut the mustard for keeping for breeding but they have the personalities... and then there are a few that you CAN'T WAIT to put on the trailer..11 sheep from my barn went off to the sale barn this morning. 2 cull ewes, 2 yearling rams, 2 adult wethers, and 5 lambs.

But, yep, someone had to help pay the feed bill.
Do you normally sell this time of year? Is it a good market there this time of year? All our close by sale barns are closed for Memorial day holiday...Thurs/Fri/Sat/Mon.... We have already shipped most everything, last ones about a month ago... But then we will be doing preg checks in the next 2 weeks, and getting ready to wean off the fall born calves so the cows get a couple months rest before they start again in late Aug/early Sept...
The way beef prices have been here, there is no bad time to sell this year...
