Yes Mother Nature is doing a good job culling for me. I wanted to cut numbers so I suppose I should think about it as weeding out the weakest. Still 2 ewes missing that we haven't found the carcasses yet. Should be one in each pasture to find. 
Hooray! The Conex boxes are arriving today!
Once they are here and leveled we will put the shelving in them. I counted and we only brought 3 sets of 6'x6'x2' heavy duty shelving units. 
We may have to buy another couple sets before going back to California and retrieving the ones still there in those Conexes and the milk shed.
At least with the Conexes in place we can move our rabbit equipment from the tool shed (collapsed 36x30 cages, watering system, cage parts, etc.), our boxes of electric fencing parts (the old kind with off sets), building materials, and all the other plastic tubs of miscellaneous equipment which are taking up the space in what should be a dedicated tool shed. Once we get all tht stuff out of the tool shed (and house), we can empty the tool shed and install the cabinets brought from CA, rearrange the shelving and organize the tools.
DS1 and I can hardly wait.
We have rented a tractor and 6' mower for a week. They will deliver it tomorrow. Our tractor broke again while DH was mowing yesterday.
Something with the shifter. He was in a foul mood when he walked back in from the field. The mobile tractor repair guy can't come for 3 weeks and Payton, who we would have hired to mow everything and would have been glad for the work, says their shredder cylinder is in the shop. The rental tractor is a larger John Deere and a 6' mower/shredder. DH will be able to get everything mowed and DS1 will be able to use it to connect the auger to drill the rest of the post holes for the pasture H braces and gates to finish off several more electric fenced pastures. Once we have several pastures, we can move the sheep from pasture to pasture and hopefully get the Barber Pole worms under control. When we sell the CA house we will buy a new tractor locally. I am so over tractor repairs. 
Naturally with the trctor down, today is a really nice cool day when mowing would have been more comfortable for him. Oh well, we will use today getting the Conexes situated.
Moved the sheep back into their original pasture since the trucks have to drive through the safety corridor with the Conexes. We remarked where they are to go and have to take down some fencing to give them plenty of room to maneuver. Also have to drag the RR ties over wher they are supposed to go. The drivers will arrange them as they drop the containers.
STORAGE!
