I met another neighbors like 1/2 mile up the road. They have hair sheep 😁 they offered me 3 ram lambs, but I don't have fence for sheep 😔

My neighbors silos being built, I find it rather fascinating.

it's pretty cool when the trees just stop, very memorable. Don't hesitate to stop for lunch or supper in one of the many mining town cafes along the way, just ensure you have cash to pay the bill 🙄

Thanks, seasoned visitor to Colorado. One employer had a site in the Springs where I had direct reports and the first wife had family west of the Springs. Multiple vacations too. Wifezilla (RIP) and Abifae on here I visited several times.

Reserved a puppy I'll have to go pick up in a couple months. Litter is being born tonight. Not sure what color we will get but decided on another male if possible. The mini aussies are just small enough to pick up if needed. Hermes is 42 pounds. This one will be his half sibling.

On a sadder note, Hubby told me yesterday he thinks it's time to make Athena her final vet appointment. She's really not doing well with her rear legs and is losing control of some bodily functions while she sleeps. Heat is too much for her as well so she lays in front of a fan on the floor. Degenerative meyelopathy at least doesn't cause pain.

@CrealCritter .... why do you not have fence for the lambs? You do NOT have to have sheep and goat fencing... normal woven wire will work fine once they get a little size to them. My DS runs all his sheep in "normal" woven wire fencing. 6 " stays is fine especially for anything that does not have horns to get stuck... once they can't get their heads through if they have horn, no big deal. If no horns, then not a big problem. And sheep do not try to get their heads through the top wire reaching for something that they cannot possibly reach and try to hang themselves like a goat.....
I got sheep and goat fencing because I want to keep the chickens in.... and then I can put anything else here at the house. I would have saved $100 plus a roll and gone with regular woven wire type fencing but the chickens and foxes and such can get through it easier...

Or was that a convenient "reason" to not get any lambs?????:hide:lol::lol::bow:bow

That sounds like bad and sad news. Give Athena a gentle hug from Auntie Baymule.
