Funny that, Thanksgiving last year I euthanized an opussum via a tree to the head. Caught him trying to climb into my chicken coop. Obviously around the two of us possums have bad holidays. hehehhe

I like your stories, MJ. Good job pulling the lamb - glad to hear the second lamb got out without further stress.

I have a "euthanize a possum" story too: Back when I had horses I used to put the sweet feed, bag and all, in a plastic barrel. I went out to feed one night in the dark and there was a possum in the feed bag. When I reached way down into the almost empty bag of feed with the coffee can and I felt it, and it hissed at me, it scared me so badly I freaked out a little bit. The only weapon I had at hand was a curb bit...

So I thought my two little California Whites had quit laying for some reason - after two white eggs a day I have been getting no white eggs for this past week. The hens have been out free ranging and these two light-bodied girls like to hop the chain link fence and roam around the house. Several days this week I've taken Titus the Wonderpup outside the fence and asked him to search under some big bushes, behind brick piles, etc. hoping to find a cache of white eggs - all to no avail.

So yesterday afternoon, DBF Jack came over and was out in the back yard. Titus led him right to where I had a wheelbarrow leaned up against the garage and did his - "hey look!" face at Jack. I moved the wheelbarrow and there was a nest of 10 white eggs. Titus had to know they were there all along, but he waited until Jack came over to show off for him. I put all the eggs in water and none of them floated, so I say they're good.

Hey, it beats fighting the traffic trying to go out somewhere lol
Barbado hair sheep is what I had (have 1 left). I bottle-fed them and they were just like puppies. The remaining one I have lives in the layer hens yard, they ride around on his back and sleep on top of him. Matthew loves his chickens.
It's supposed to be 70 today?? The wind is something else.
Robin, the little blue Cochin must have been reading the boards, she was up running around this morning instead of trying to sit on a nest full of leaves.

Congratulations on the successful pull.
When a cow has twins that are of both sexes, either one or both will be sterile...called martin.
Surely it isn't the same for sheep and goats since they have multiple births.

Oh my the weather is so nice outside today. Is it really Dec 31st???? Holy cow even with the wind it is lovely outside.
