Re: Is everyone outside?

Sheep aren't terribly smart about eating stuff. Sure you don't have a noxious weed in the pasture?

Happens a lot with them for some reason. With our goats, it's usually a parasite problem or UTI with the males...all treatable if you know the signs and know how to treat it. I hate losing one of my 
animals.  So sorry.

Working, dagnabit. Looks like the weekend will be pretty good although I have to come into work again on Saturday, at least for a while. But I have high hopes I will be able to get a lot done in the garden. My peas and lettuces are planted already. I am very late in starting my tomatoes 
and peppers but it will have to do. With daylight savings starting I
might be able to do stuff after work (I always think that, and I hardly 
ever do anything, but hope springs eternal).
Very upsetting we lost another one of our ewes this week. Doesn't seem to be the same problem as the last one we lost, she just decided not to eat. We threw every medication and vitamin we had at her, I got advice from a vet clinic, and none of it did any good. Now we're bottle- feeding 
two lambs again. At least these little ones are old enough to start
nibbling solid food, although that also means they hate the bottle and 
run from us. Sigh.
