We have a Hereford and Char-something LOL cross steer, goes to slaughter in 2 weeks. Goldie is a beautiful color and has grown nicely. Can’t wait to take a bite! LOL LOL

The fence you showed that was cut when your heifers were stolen was a high wire fence. I just figured your ranch was all high wire fenced. I guess not if the coyotes can lurk about at night. Not even a high wire fence will keep a cougar out. Are the hogs pretty bad?

We have a much smaller property than you, 8 acres. We fenced it in 4’ high non climb horse wire to keep our animals in and everybody else’s out. We also have livestock guard dogs to guard the sheep. Coyotes and hogs are terrible here but have never given us problems. Our dogs barking at night is music to our ears. LOL

I find with my sheep that the ewes first lambing is usually nothing spectacular, sometimes even a single lamb. On their second lambing they figure it out and hit their stride. Almost always twins after that.

Be sure to post lots of pictures of the kids!
