The cotton fields are beginning to look sultry. The rain has missed us forever but the heat finds us everyday. Several of the yearling sheep are bottle jawed (wormy), got them in late last night, about 10:30 to reworm them, the last wormer didn't work very well. Sheared another ewe this morning, Jewell, an elderly Cotswold, she is very thin, so I can't blame the heat stress on her being fat, it's just too hot for sheep this year. And now the pastures are burning up, the sheep no longer find the grass palatable and just hang around alot yelling for feed. Managed to get a load of bermuda hay in the barn last week, not the best, but it will have to get us by for now. I am being blessed with tons of tomatoes. I have canned tomatoes, frozen tomatoes, canned salsa, canned pasta sauce, and eaten so many tomatoes my mouth and stomach are sore.
