Poor thing. She just hates everyone and everything right now. I’m trying to coddle her as much as I can, to not add to her stress. The current theory with what killed Mary is an overrun of a common bacteria that lives in their respiratory tract, and that can be caused by stress. The vet

We took the truck into town yesterday, so we could visit Wellscroft Farm to pick up some electrical tape and portable fencing to use for the horses, for a hopeless search for heirloom tomato plants, and to visit the new Cheshire Horse store. Dave showed me how to stop the puppy from barking while he

I spent an hour or so with Prince and Pearl yesterday, just to give them a good brush. It was hard to take a better picture, because they were so clingy and happy to see me. I was amazed that they recognized my voice and were so needy, poor things. I want a magic

I’ve been so paranoid about how to get the rams back together that I’ve left them in their breeding pens and just not dealt with it. The girls are nearing their due dates, though, and are starting to get much hungrier, and the easiest way to deal with that was to get the pigs rams

On Saturday, we took a ride over to Dancing Lamb Farm in New York to pick up our three new girls. Mike Kelley gave us a wonderful tour of her dairy operation, and since I need an article for the next ISBONA newsletter, I’m going to save all of those pictures and words for that

Oh, Buster, the cutest sheep in all the world, why must you be a Houdini? We came out this morning for chores, to find Buster with a bloody horn and blood all over the side of his face. Frank was headed out for an appointment, of course, but helped me put him into the carrier

The sheep have all gotten a little wilder with our year away. I think it was just more than Valerie could handle to keep them all tame and handle-able, while doing everything else on the farm, plus working, plus college. I know they were spoiled as much as she could do, and treated well, but

I’m home from working on a project, and the sheepies mostly remembered me. As a matter of fact, I got a really fine introduction to life back on the farm because when we got home from the airport, I looked out back at the sheep and saw Panic sort of just wandering around, loose from

Two weeks away from the sheepies and they almost forgot me. (sniff) When I went out in the morning to feed hay, instead of calling out when they heard my voice like they did before I left, they waited until they heard Frank before the chorus of “baaaa”s got going in full force. Then when

I’m really amazed at the progress we made in just about two and a half hours this morning. We’ve got Thanksgiving tomorrow, and it started raining around noon, so we knew it was going to be a short day outside because we have so much inside stuff that has to get done. So we started
