But they are soooo sweet, and it looks like they are going to have really nice fiber. The little ram lamb is a little bit skittish around us, but I think that's probably a good thing.<br />KimAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-90329970803049656302014-03-06T16:42:51.877-08:002014-03-06T16:42:51.877-08:00Abby and Mom, it's been wonderful the past few...Abby and Mom, it's been wonderful the past few days feeding these sheep! A totally different experience. I don't know why I never had one of these before.<br /><br />Kimberly, I forgot to say that I only feed the sheep the sheep feed in winter, when there is no grass for them to eat. They also get hay. So after they all have lambs, I'll quit giving them feed. The grass should be growing good by then and I can move them over to the other pasture again. Then, it's MUCH easier! And I have goats to deal with.Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-16506086178776004312014-03-06T16:39:43.855-08:002014-03-06T16:39:43.855-08:00Kimberly, I'd love to send you a few of these ...Kimberly, I'd love to send you a few of these guys! They ship little baby chicks, don't know why little tiny lambs couldn't travel that way, right?<br /><br />I did have some shears but they were old and didn't last long. I've been wanting to get some new ones so I can shear them myself. I've looked at Premier, they have some nice ones that are pretty reasonable. But I might get some people from Tn. to come again. They sheared some last year and I got some nice fleeces. And that's what I want, fleeces in one piece!<br /><br />How are all your lambs doing?Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-43423818865757150632014-03-06T16:36:39.875-08:002014-03-06T16:36:39.875-08:00Dolly, I sure hope don't say anything to chang...Dolly, I sure hope don't say anything to change your mind about getting animals. Because everyone has different situations and farms and weather and so many other things. This is just my story and how I deal with things. I so hope you do get sheep and goats. Just not so many? I'll be selling several of these sheep soon, so if you live nearby, come on over and check them out!Krishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01754379649711551718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-49399801479654742692014-03-06T15:45:17.144-08:002014-03-06T15:45:17.144-08:00This is a very interesting story, Kris.

You always have those cute pictures to go with your narrations! You are talented and clever in so many ways! It's okay to vent for a minute; we'll all listen to you, knowing that, in the end, you'll be o.k.Irisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-69450956548355831312014-03-06T13:37:13.596-08:002014-03-06T13:37:13.596-08:00Wow what a story Mom.

Right? ;)<br /><br />I know what pests they can be. I once had a goat stick its hoove in my mouth trying to get to the grain I was holding up while closing the gate. I don't feed grain when I can get away with it, because it makes the animals so much more aggressive. I have one goat in my herd that her job is to cut me off, when I pull the feed cart into the pasture, and another who loves riding the cart. She will run along with her front legs on the cart no matter how fast I drag it. Hey, Hay! its the highlight of there day.<br /><br />Question. Do you shear your own sheep? Because we need to buy a shearing machine, but am not sure on what one to buy. It seems as though none have good reviews, so making it even harder.<br /><br />KimberlyAn At Home Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15703109969618447107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6405740998298393653.post-82580321822901704472014-03-05T19:00:25.059-08:002014-03-05T19:00:25.059-08:00Thank you for sharing about your sheep and goats. ...Thank you for sharing about your sheep and goats.
