Yours too? Mine decided we needed to go to town last night too. It wasn't too bad. Roads were slick on the way home, but we just took it slow. Congrats on the twins. I don't think anyone has ever asked... what kind of sheep do you raise? Kats?

Some Kats. I have Dorper, Katahdin, Painted Desert, some pure some mixed. A couple have Mouflon mixed in them.
I always breed to a Dorper ram.

Yep, what goes around, comes around. Raz has been nice to his neighbor even tho she has been treating him like crap. So.. now the what goes around... she treats him like crap, even tho he's been super nice to her, so.. it comes around. Raz need not feel like he has to go out in this very nasty weather to do her drive. He needs a little "comes around" first.

dascountry. Great forum.

We had a sheep when I was a kid. My birth moms husband, (does not make him my step father), Tony, got this lamb, and it was the sweetest little thing. We had a doberman and a german sheppard. Those were Tony's dogs as well... Well, he got them dogs all riled up one day playing with them and they attacked my baby sister. She was only 4 at the time. I remember that clearly to this day... Well anyway, he put the dogs out side for the night, my sis went to get stitched up. Well, we moved to a house in Burr Oak, and one day the dogs got loose and killed the sheep. It was so sad, because I really liked that sheep. I was really mad at the jerk too, because thats when he decided that the dogs needed to be put down. Not after tearing up my sister, but the sheep.

I don't think I could ever have a sheep now though... I would cry big time if anything happened to it. And I couldn't eat it. I don't like sheep meat...

Aww that's sad. I get a lot of joy from my sheep. Especially when the lambs get a little older and they group together and start their running and jumping play.

Thank you for that reply. I was feeling a tiny bit bad about being a Richard (low brow indeed), but she has 2 20 something kids living with her that are fully capable of doing chores.
Besides, I was getting tired of being taken advantage of.

Karma has many personalities & moods. Won't hurt if she has to wait a bit....but then get out there and clear it for her. I always feel much better and shamefully to say somewhat smug when I'm the Bigger/Better Person. JMO.

OK....Time to mind mine own business.....didn't know about the 2 twenty yr. olds!!

Raz I know you are a great neighbor and a gentleman, and have been good to her even though she has been a pain in the behind. I would only remind you that she is not the one with illegal chickens -

. And to never get into a stinking contest with a skunk.

Cold here too this am, 7 degrees, but the girls were ready and waiting to come out. I have noticed that they don't mind the cold so much, but hate wind. Today is thin sun and no wind, so they are busy outside in the pile of hay in the run.

Being a practicing heathen, I can adopt any aspects of any religion that appeals to me. Love Karma!

Got my Euskal Oiloa eggs lined up for mid-march, I can hardly wait it is so exciting! 3 dozen plus extras according to the breeder, set for 3/13. Should get here in time for the Easter hatch. Hoping to get some lemon blue and brown red cochin eggs too, and Taprock has kindly offered some EE/AM eggs which I am really looking foreward to. I don't like to count my chickens before they are hatched, but maybe if the EO's hatch well I will have some for Chickenstock!

Sounds like a nice mix.

I've been working on the garden plans for this year this morning. Makes me even more antsy for spring. And canning season.

Yes, I understand and agree with you and Richard on this point of view also!

Hey all - Last year I had MICE eating my tomatoes. This year I was thinking of hanging the tomato plants off the back porch awning in containers to avoid the problem. Will that work? What do you all think?
