I hope you get a good rain.

Grocery store meat is mass produced and quality suffers. That meat market sounds wonderful!

I put ewes and lambs in the yard today. Lawnmower is in the shop, so grass has gone wild. I blocked off the driveway with a cow panel and half a hog panel. Put wire from the gate on their night pen to the 16’ gate at the driveway. They feasted! 14 ewes, plus Ewenique and 3 young ewes, plus 31...

I’m sorry about the ewe and her lamb. You had to try, even knowing that the lamb might be dead, you still had to try. Y’all need to take another day off, please try to rest tomorrow. You did not make a mistake bringing Rika with you. Yes she is in pain. But she has you and DH, her people...

Those poor puppies. God bless yall for feeding them and showing them kindness.

I’m ok here. I got better sense than to live in a river bottom. Not as high elevation as Lindale, but high enough.

Bears. Bears could damage the well.

She makes it worthwhile to sell and go find another piece of property. If you can legally keep her at bay, then do all you can do. But this can escalate to a level that could be real bad for everyone. The thing is, if she does something to your wife, yeah, you might get her arrested, put in...

I’d keep those two breeding crosses going. But there’s no guarantee they will produce the same spotted lambs next year.

I’m glad to hear a happy story like that. I’m sure you smile every time you go by and see them.

Believe it or not, it’s 64 here !!!! Will be lows in the 60’s for the next 10 day forecast with highs in the 80’s. I’ll take it! No if only something would take out these clouds of vampire gnats! I already know the answer to that, no rain and bodacious HEAT. Annnnnndddd it’s going to rain...

Will the county come get them? I lived in Smith county and first thing they asked was did we feed the dog? If the answer was yes, then they considered it your dog. Answer no and it’s a stray and they would even set a trap to catch it. Go figure. Just thought I’d throw that out there. Of course...

Coffee is ready. I think I’ll do more inside stuff today. Maybe make a pile of stuff to take to resale shop or donate.

My Anatolians don’t like their feet being handled. I play a game with Sentry, IM GONNA GET YOUR FOOT! I try to grab a foot and he snatches it away and pretends to bite me. Of course he doesn’t, his teeth never touch me, it’s our game. I laugh and I swear he does too.

You know spots are my weakness! Love that speckled lamb!

That breeder believes in you. He sees something in you that you may not realize yourself. Sounds like you have a mentor who wants good things for you.

Get a long lightweight stick. You can use it to “herd” the girls. Think of it as an arm extension. Have a certain call to call them to a treat. Before long, they will run for their treat and will grow accustomed to being guided by the stick.

@farmerjan can give you advice on breeding hogs. She raised hogs. All I ever did was buy feeder pigs and raise them to slaughter. I used to buy them for around $60, but looking at Craigslist, they are $150-$200 now. Once I get a place set up for a few pigs, I’ll start raising feeder pigs again...

Coffee is ready. Gonna get a haircut this morning, it’s way beyond a trim.

I’m glad to hear that! It’s heading this way, a severe storm just passed south of me by a little bit. I’m getting thunder and lightning flashes. There is another storm above that one and it will pass through here.
