Nine of the ewe lambs I am keeping back to increase the flock. If all goes as planned they will be bred to lamb in February. Letting them have the best pasture (which is at a premium in this drought) so that they will continue to grow out quickly.

Having to feed hay now. We desperately need some rain. The pastures are just not growing back like they should this time of the year.

Pat and Max delivered hay equipment to a customer in Colorado over the long weekend. A chance for the men to get away from the girls:) If you look closely in the pic, you can see the little girls waving them off. They had a nice adventure and really enjoyed the mountains.

I guess Shep, our 6-month-old English Shepherd, is trying to tell me he wants more responsiblity around here. I had him out while I was doing chores a couple of nights ago. Lost track of him for only 30 seconds, and he had brought the weaned lambs in from pasture for me and was sitting at the door of the corral just waiting patiently. Even the lambs seemed fine with this and were just milling around waiting for me too. Good dog--hasn't even really had any formal training yet! He knows the routine.

Baled, picked up and stacked nearly 1000 bales on Saturday. Big thanks to Clay, Layne, Liam, Misty, Kevin, and our own 4 kids for their help. Thanks to mom for fixing dinner so we didn't have to leave the field!

Sure is nice having your own science lab in the backyard. Some different science fair projects the 2 big kids have done with their sheep.

Kudos to my 13-year-old daughter. She and I handled nearly every ewe and lamb in the flock on Saturday. Wormed those who needed it, tagged all lambs and yearlings, and gave 2nd dose of CD/T vaccine to the youngest lambs. Sometimes I miss her being little but I must say it is nice to have a kid big enough to help with the muscle jobs now:) She was a trooper!

I went out to the barn and this is what greeted me. So glad I had the camera. I just rolled!!! Diane sporting a comb over. For those of you not familiar with Katahdins, they are hair sheep and shed. Some hair from a brown ewe somehow became Diane's fashionable toupee:) I guess she is trying to make up for the bad hair days my sheep have during shedding season!
