We moved a bit trying to make progress with my neck pain. I went in this morning and got several injections of lidocaine and there will be another set next week. The doctor explained the process and keeping it simple, the purpose of these are a sort of testing to make sure that the nerves can be isolated and relieved of pain by the injections. If the injections take care of it, this process shows that they can be isolated and basically deadened by another procedure that I'm not sure about how it works.

So far, just a minor area is still feeling a little pain but nothing like has been the norm so I am hoping this all works. I have just about been poked as much as I'm willing to take.

I am so sorry about your loss that is one of the worst decision to have to make and I am glad you decided not to make her suffer needlessly. I am glad your getting some pretty colored rams. What breed is that?

Thank You. They are full blooded Katahdin

The injections make sense, explained like that. The procedure to deaden the nerves that you don’t quite understand, as long as the doctor knows what he’s doing, you don’t have to understand He’s the professional, trained to do that. You will be ok.

So sorry about Sassy. The hardest responsibility in owning an animal is letting a good friend and servant go when they need to.

We have had several lambs show up in the last few days so it's time for a few pictures.

Well, you got some nice color..... hope all the ewes/lambs are paired off good.... They look pretty good.

We are pretty "hands off" until the lambs are ready to wean. The ewes are all so tame that the lambs can usually be handled by the time they are a couple of days old.

Those are some spotty lambs! Color sells!

 

[Ridgetop]

Are those colored lambs ewes or rams? Are you starting to go for color now?
