First we had a surprise late lamb. 9 pounds 9 ounces and doing fine. Mom had him up dry and nursed when we found them. I didn't take any pictures because the next bit of excitement was this bull.
He had smashed down the wire fence in the back corner. We got him back out the gate and with the cows and called the owner to tell him about the problem. This is the same owner whose cattle break into the hay field every single year. We explained that he'd be getting a bill for the fence repair and replacement wire as soon as we got it done. Colorado is an open range state but if you have a legal fence in place and an animal breaks it down you can get it repaired by the livestock owner.
Since the shopping trip was kaput we decided to do the Friday scheduled work today instead. Main task was getting the lawnmowers working around the main house lawn.
We have to use jug panels to keep them off the porch or we'd have sheep into the house if they could manage it.
So glad you've been posting again! I missed your blog when it went quiet for a while. The sheep look gorgeous and ready to come inside and help.
ReplyDeleteHow are the horses? Zardyna has been my favorite for years. We recently tested our three stallions, and one came back as an SCID carrier. He will be gelded, and now we need to test his 1/2 sister and two daughters. Even if it means we never sell another horse, being honest about his SCID status was the right thing to do. Kudos to you and my condolences again on the passing a couple of years ago of your handsome boy, RS Farwasabi.
