From a distance, I thought this was a lamb on the ground. My heart skipped a beat. Nope! Just a rather large fire ant mound. Yowza! My heart still skipped a beat. :)

Goat is going to goat. This goat is named TweedleDee. :)
Sheep and goats are in the woods today. They are loving it.

We're trying to debunk every nonsense out there. We're running out of time to change course on a forseeable disaster called global warming

Ha! This represents about $240 of dewormer. I bought this bottle from the vet as you see it. It just goes to show how utilitarian a farm vet is versus a pet vet. The vet did apologize for not having a nicer-looking bottle, but still ... :) I just had to chuckle.
By the way, folks. There is a serious dearth of farm vets out there. Mine really wants to retire. Need more veterinarians!

Hopefully the last bale for the year. We have plentiful grass, but we had to isolate the ewes while giving birth to their lambs. Hay is tremendously expensive this time of year.

Three lambs born today. And caught a honey bee swarm. Just another day on the farm.

Mowing the lawn. You do it your way; I'll do it mine. ;)

Goodbye 114. Oh how we loved thee. For six years you gave us five babies, were super friendly, and loved a good scratch. Alas, you have always struggled with your health. Today, you lost that battle and Mother Nature called you back to her. We shall miss your good spirits.
Photo warning. A beloved ewe in final repose.

Mineral supplements made available to our beloved #ruminants. They ended up fighting each other for access. The #goats (not visible in this photo), though tiny in comparison, have one significant advantage: horns. They shoved their way in eventually and held their ground. (Yes, I was a smidge concerned about a gouged eye, but they seemed to be navigating things just fine.)
