I won't be on BYH on September 25th because I will be traveling to Arkansas to get my first registered ram! He is about 6 months old and is about the same age as my 1st gen. ewes. I will breed probable in spring for fall lambs. So I should have some 2nd gen. lambs (hopefully ewes) and 1st gen. lambs only from my top quality ewes with the registered ram. I'm catching up to you, @Baymule!

Washed up some sheep:
Petunia- Female Katahdin I rescued at three days old. She was bottle fed and nearly died of starving. She had a disability from the narrow birth canal pressurizing on her head. As a result, she didn't suck and the mother left her. She is about 5 months old now. She is my favorite.
Buster- Katahdin ram born the same day as Reba that I had gotten days later. I tried to make him nurse with Reba and her mother but Laney, the mother, didn't like that a lot. He ended up being a bottle baby... I hope he doesn't get mean as I know you aren't supposed to interact with him much at a young age.
Petunia and Buster are finding a new home. They were my only bottle babies. Petunia is about 9 months and Buster about 6 months. They were posted on Facebook and we already have some people interested. Petunia or both will probably be going to a local petting zoo in DeQuincy, Louisiana. If he doesn't want the ram, I know a local that would love him for breeding. I hope Petunia gets to go to a petting zoo, her whole life she just desired attention, and now she will be loved and fed by a bunch of children.

My birthday is on the…
Happy birthday!

I’m too late. I was going to tell you that you better not post your actual birthday on the Internet because you should try to protect that kind of personal information.

Oh well. It’s bound to be out there somewhere anyway, but since you’re a minor, it might not be. Be especially careful about anything you post on FB. Like birthdays, where you live and when you are not going to be at home.

If you want to remove your post about your birth date, you can either edit the post or ask one of the admins to delete the post.

Oh, and if you do that, you will have to ask @SageHill to edit her post too, because she quoted yours.
