Last ewe has left.

Mofo escaped back in, but not all the way.

Just 2 rams/wethers left to deal with.

I kept back 4 ewelings this year, which with the 16 adults, makes 20 ewes in all. I'll have to choose 5 ewes, plus any dams I keep a eweling from, to sell in 2026.
Have 5 mutt fiber ewes, so I still need to ddownsize. Would be nice if the 2 mutts would sell, but it's not happening, and they're too friendly to cull.
2027, I'll have a white ram to sell or trade for a new white ram. As I'd be keeping too many daughters and inbred daughters by him. And same for the spotted ram, same situation.

Decided to list the mystery sheep for sale. That'll drop my BD ewe count to 15 adults vs 16.

And looks like I lost 247's CoR and idk if I registered her with the other 2 registries, so, sent out emails to find out. Being a Balsa baby, I'll keep her, just need her paperwork in order.


If I don't like the wool on the 4 mutt ewes, I'll sell them off in 2026 as well. That'll leave me with just 2 old ewes no one wants, 19 BD and 2 rams. 23 sheep. If so, I'll have just 3 BD ewes to decide on to sell off vs 5.
Last two years, everyone's wool has been garbage. Idk wtf, but it seems that maybe by 20230, I might not have sheep any longer, if this mess continues.
