Little Lambs

Jewell's lambs are growing everyday, time to band the tails, think I'll wait and see if the temp will drop a little. The past two days have been June like and miserable. I have two more bred does to shear and hope to get that done tomorrow. Finally got smart and moved the shearing stand to the does instead of dragging does to the shearing barn. The shearing doesn't wear me down, it's the draaging of stubborn does from one pasture to the shearing barn. Needed several drop cords to make it work, but I found them and ran them along the barn rafters from one barn to another to be safe. It makes me feel better when they are shorn and I know they feel better, once I get started most of them realize what is going on and they enjoy it, especially the older does. I hate being behind on my shearing but who knew it would be in the eighties in March. And what about that late cold spell? Well, they are all in good shape, fed well and have good shelter, so we should be fine. No kids have been born since Sunday, this is where I removed a buck and placed another in with the does, a buck that didn't breed any does, never ever had that to happen. The kidding will pick back up soon as I didn't leave him in for very long.
