Daydreaming while waiting impatiently!

That's good to hear.

Lambs are on grass! Still getting milk in the morning; drinking from a bucket. I my favorite to work and groomed her. Unbelievably soft!

We are going to a sheep breeder's .... um, I don't know what kind of event. I think there will be a sheep vet there and they do a pasture walk? I don't think I will go. I am horribly sleep deprived and the day after this event I drive an 8 hour round trip to teach an 8 hour class. Yeah. No.

Banana, the Sable milk goat, earned an electric fence. She was coming and going as she pleased over the goat pasture fence. Until she broke off the tops of our new baby apple trees. That was the end of that!

Our sickle mower is broken, so no hay-making until we get the replacement parts imported.

I entered my lettuce in the County Fair and won a blue ribbon! The berries are nearly ripe. Any day now we'll be up to our ears in raspberries and blueberries!

Awesome!!!

Sounds yummy!

2 dead lambs yesterday from coccidiosis. 1 overnight. 1 was barely alive when we got home from work, gave it meds and fluids but passed about an hour and a half later. Of course, that one had to be my 7 year old son's favorite and future 4H project. *sigh*

Remaining 5 looked bright and perky this morning, but are sick too. They have been getting vet care.

Sorry to hear that.

Oh... that's terrible! I hope the remaining lambs respond well to vet care.

They're still alive. And in desperate need of a good bath and butt shave! I'm waiting until the second to last day they're on meds.

Hope everything settles down for you soon. Too much too fast can be over whelming.

4 out of 7 lambs died. They had coccidia, clostridium, and salmonella. The 3 remaining are off medications and staying alive, but the prognosis still is not so good for them.

A petsitting dog killed 3 chickens. We tested out our homemade chicken plucker. It was too rough on them, it's been modified now. I thought they tasted terrible. I'm not looking forward to having 20 homegrown chickens in the freezer.

Berries are getting ripe faster than we can pick them. And this is with only 1 row of blueberries producing - the oldest row. What on earth am I going to do when all 8 rows are producing?! :drop: The raspberries are falling off the canes.

Just about everything at work has broken this week. My 7 year old son has had a nasty pukey virus. I spent 3 days nursing a lamb that died anyway. My dog has officially gone off the deep end, bit my son and then me. My employee cut her hours in half, so I'm stuck at work 60+ hours a week. I'm prepping for traveling and competing next week on top of everything else. :drop:
