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. I noticed some symptoms earlier but not enough to do anything about it. Friday 9/6 Saturday 9/7 Sunday 9/8… Continue reading 2024 9/2 – 9/8 Week in Review

Monday 8/5 Granny was out in the northern part of my field, completely blind due to pinkeye. She recovers fairly quickly. Tuesday 8/6 Wednesday 8/7 Thursday 8/8 Friday 8/9 Saturday 8/10 This was a busy day.

Monday 7/29 48 was born! Tuesday 7/30 Wednesday 7/31 Thursday 8/1 I’m seeing pinkeye in EWE 0002. I’m not sure what caused it, but I surmise that she is scraping her eye on the forage. Friday 8/2 Saturday 8/3 Sunday 8/4

Tuesday 7/9 Hurricane Beryl, or the remnants of it, passed us by. Wednesday 7/10 Thursday 7/11 Friday 7/12 We finally got the other… Continue reading 2024 7/8-7/14 Week in Review
2024 7/1-7/7 Week in Review
Monday 7/1 Tuesday 7/2 I put the ram on the sheep. The other ram stayed behind. I moved Rammy in too, but he is probably too young to breed effectively. A note about droughts: All droughts are local, and the best thing to do is not to overgraze. Watch and plan your grass and consumption,… Continue reading 2024 7/1-7/7 Week in Review
