Sheep farm!


Here is a photo of three of our sheep. This is Stevie, Sheila and Buttons. These sheep are supposed to be Barbado but i think they're Corsican. Anyhow another guy told me they are Texas Painted Desert Sheep. Which ever they are they are pretty easy to raise. They are pretty resilient to disease and just about anything else thrown at them. Smarts? Well, lets say there is a few marbles missing from their sack. Stevie with the big horns is pretty mean if you jack with the females or the deer that hangs around here. The deer is afraid of the ram but pretty much sets the bar with ewes in the pen. She will hoof them and chase them. Then the ram gets worked up and goes crazy chasing all them. Pretty dumb but very comical.

Spring drop...


Deer across texas are dropping fawns. The deer that hangs around the house has yet to drop a fawn however. Maybe she was not carrying this year. This time of year is really nice with the cools nights and warm days. The only down side is the damn chiggers. I hate those little welp making itch creating bastards. Anyhow heres a parting shot of a texas whitetail doe.
