Monday 9/2 Tuesday 9/3 I moved the other bull on to the cows just in case the South Poll that I bought doesn’t get them all. Wednesday 9/4 Thursday 9/5 One of our lambs has arthritis.

RAM 0005 has Chlamydial Polyarthritis
I noticed today (2024-09-05) that RAM 0005 was lying down and didn’t seem to want to get up. When I approached he slowly stood up and it was clear that something was wrong with his front left leg.

Dallisgrass doesn’t grow leaves that go very tall. The seed heads shoot up but the leaves stay low to the ground. When the… Continue reading 2024 6/24-6/30 Week in Review
