It finally quit raining so I can spray tomorrow to finish getting our netting and fence lines sprayed for the first time this summer. Teresa got a couple of nice pictures just before sundown.

Teresa and I did spend most of the day moving netting and mowing grass to make better contact with the netting. From here on out I'll be spraying to kill the growth but that spring super growth is hard to keep under control. We always have a good time working together and it always brings a...

Things didn't quite work out like I wanted today thanks to Mel. It was in the low 80's today so Mel decided to stay out under a big shade tree in the middle paddock which is not where I want to put Oshi and Pete. They all come in for morning feed so I can close the netting gate then. This...

We will be doing some movement with the netting tomorrow. I want to leave Oshi and Pete in the paddock that they are in and move all of the ewes on to fresh grass tomorrow. The lambs have all fallen into our method and give us time to watch and plan on replacements. There are several lambs...

Teresa is still one of the youngsters as she is 9 years younger than my 73 years. :)

We just saw large parts of Texas was getting hale. Are you getting any of that?

This picture was just taken a few minutes ago and it is pushing 10:00. We don't have the swirling lights but there is a complete light that you can see with the camera but not by eye.

We just got an email with some pictures of the ewes that we just sold. They were already tame and their new home went out and bought Animal Crackers on the way home so they are already trusted. :)

I need to change the oil on my '04 Tacoma. It has only been around 1000 miles since the last oil change but it has been three years since it was changed and it just looks old. We used to put a lot of miles on our vehicles when we lived in South Carolina but that has sure changed. The Ram that...

We haven't been able to see the Northern Lights with just the naked eye but they show up really well using a phone or camera. Down on the horizon here looks like day light.

They are beauties.

I posted not long ago that we have a new locally owned meat market near us that we are really enjoying their products. I don't know how they age their meat but everything we have tried is great. We made hamburgers out of their ground beef tonight and we won't be buying anymore ground beef at...

I was really surprised how cool it got today.

We brought the sheep in again this afternoon and got caught up on the final shots. We separated the rest of the ram lambs since many are pushing 3 months old.

We went to see my ortho doctor this morning. This was my first time seeing this one but I like him better than the one I had several years ago. We talked about my shoulder pain levels and what my options are. He said he is certain that surgery is in my near future but we are going to try...

Last night was interesting but we didn't have any damage on our place. There was a rash of tornado activity with major damage just north of us but nothing here as far as I can tell. We got a little over 3" of rain here but according to the news, areas north of here got 8-9 inches.

Today was shot day for the dogs and two of the cats. All three cats were due but there was only two of them around today. We split the dogs up with me taking Maisy and Mel and Teresa took Sassy and Lance. My working pickup is still my old Tacoma and Mel takes up the entire back seat and I...

All of the sheep that we sold were great looking and I was almost hoping several of them would not go. When we are sorting, we use blue paint to mark them as to be sold and we add a spot of purple that tells us they will be added to our herd if they don't sell. :)

Yes, they all will be breeders.

We sold five ewe lambs this afternoon. They were all 9-11 weeks old and needed to be taken off of their Moms anyway so they can get back in condition.
