SageHill Ranch Journal

Got the ram lambs all separated out. Phew - what a job. Well - it wasn't that bad, I liked it. But it was a tad noisy -- baaaaa baaaa baaaaa. I got a text from my neighbor down the road (1/2 mile-ish) checking to see if everything was ok as they heard a lot of baaaa-ing. A good neighbor - she has/had the goats and the LGDs that occasionally came to visit. Texted her back that all was well, and I bet she could hear our commotion - it was deafening up here! She laughed
So they are all separated out, still some calling and calling back - but they are really more interested in the alfalfa. Boys.

Oh course, with all sheep chores around here help was definitely needed and Obi and Zo made it a lot easier than it would be without them. The stop gate and Premiere 1 panels helped a lot as well.

Didn't know whether to laugh or love... chose love! But, I'm still laughing...

I have been considering learning American sign for discussions during sheep working and weaning. Even though the barn is towards the back of the property, between the screaming sheep and occasional semis and cattle trucks thundering past in front, DS1 and I see moving lips but hear nothing! DH has hearing aids anyway so he is a lost cause.
