Meet Tuebor, a handsome young ram we are leasing from my dad! He’s got his harness on with a nice green color so we can tell when he marks a ewe (giving us a due date for the lambs)! It’s not foolproof— he’s been here for two weeks and I just realized that his first color (orange) had worn off before I exchanged it. 😬 Oh well! Hoping to see some nice green marks this week.

Our lambs are all ready at the fair! Special thanks to Dale DeJong for helping shear!

My sheep shearer came and we worked through the heat today to get our 10 ewes sheared! He did the shearing while I trimmed the hooves. That’s 40 hooves! My back might not happy with me but the ewes sure are! 😊🐑

We are all surviving the heat here at the BFF but it’s not easy on the ewes. They are breathing hard, laying around more, and drinking lots of water. Thankfully the ewes are getting sheared tomorrow which will make life easier for them this summer!

We’ve had a very exciting couple of days in 1st grade! One chick hatched yesterday, four hatched overnight, and 10 hatched today at school!!! The kids loved it (almost as much as I did!!!). 🤩🐣

An update on Little Guy! Several weeks ago, I went out for a 2AM feeding and was shocked to find his tiny leg had fallen off. I was beside myself for several days trying to figure out how that happened and worried about his leg getting infected. Here are some conclusions I came to after talking with a few friends and family members:

—I’m positive I didn’t wrap his broken leg too tightly
—I didn’t check it during the three weeks it was wrapped, which may have prevented me from seeing problems
—Possibly his blood supply to the leg had been cut off when it was broken
—However it was caused, his leg eventually died and fell off without any bleeding! 😮

I’m so happy to report that his leg has healed without any infection!! While healing, I checked it regularly and cleaned it and sprayed it with wound spray whenever necessary. And now it has completely healed and he runs around without any trouble!

In the picture, he’s the smaller one in the front on the left side.
