After those were caught, the other two keeper ewe lambs were caught. 4 in all.

The cows were moved to a new pasture as well. The two rams moved into the one they all just moved out of.

And the ewes in their new pasture. 18 sheep in here.
4 lambs, 2 rams, 24 sheep in all.
ugh. 4 too many for this year, but T & Seadra probably will never sell. I guess I'll not breed the mutts this year or three, to just save their fiber. Then breed for replacement ewes after that.

Well, he'll! Now I know why she was off after lambing. It wasn't the flies, it was a lamb she failed to birth out! 😱
She just got out from the vet, they got it out without surgery.
Insane! 😰 I'm horrified, how the heck does that happen, and you don't find out for several months!
Bloody sheep....

Fk!
More news, clearer news.
Did have surgery after all. Triplets! 🤦🏽‍♀️ Two lost. Just insanity. How do they hardly act off and just be fine??
What an absurd year it's been...
