Can you take pictures of their butts looking at them from the tail to head? Would like to see how they carry the meat in the hind leg. Also, a shot over the top of the loin to see thickness. Can you get a video to post of them walking out?

LOL I can try! They are not exactly posers for the camera

Yeah, when you want a picture of their back end, all you get is their face, mugging for treats!

SO TRUE !!!
And for those who asked for flower pics - here's one of the hibiscus...
it's huge

for scale a pic with my hand...

On the sheep/dog front - Zo is on injured reserve he did something to his toe (left front paw outside toe). Cold lasering it to hopefully make the down time short. Any grazing or working is now on Obi. I may have to enlist Ree or Sage - but both of them haven't done much work grazing or in Sage's case no work. Yeah - she needs to learn more. And the two of them have just barely come out of season.

Going to try and keep track of rain here this year. Looks like almost another 1/8 inch #rain2026 overnight. Gauge is now cleaned out for better reading.

I have 2 rain gauges and try to be diligent to keep track of moisture... Have a calendar that is strictly for weather recording... temps, conditions, rain/snow totals.

Beautiful flower! Hibiscus is my favorite.
I hope Zo is fully healed soon. Maybe Sage will pick it up quickly when she's out working with Obi.

OK some more rammy pics
Still not great - these fellas like to move around and if I take too long Mr St Croix gets a not so sweet look in his eye. He's never tried anything - but he is a ram, and I do watch my rams closely.

Didn't manage a top pic of the St Croix he was getting a little tired of the "photo shoot"

Overall - I think Moose 2532 is the best of the three. That said - 2520 always looks better in person.

 

[SteepedInSheep]

I love how Moose looks. Handsome!

 

[Mini Horses]

Moose has great shoulders. Good hips but I suspect they'll be better as he ages...still young. 2520 has a nicer top line but, could be stance between the two. IMO

St croix has a beautiful beard. He's got a great hairdresser.

That's what I like on him Time will tell what he will produce with my ewes. His rate of growth is not like my lambs - not thrilled, though I'm thinking that's St Croix for ya'. Pics I see online are the same or pretty close to what I have in mine.
