Lambs

Tuesday - Just completed a 5 day drenching for coccidisos followed by a dose of worm meds as we have some diarrhetic lambs and some not gaining weight. Started the process of trimming hooves today completing 3 goats and 3 sheep. Luckily we have tamed the sheep so they are easy to work with and the goats might as well be dogs. Monday wew lost our second lamb, having had one die the week before. We can not figure why they died as they were not diarrhetic and we apparently eating and active less than 12 hours before death. This enterprise is becoming a time consuming, expensive and worrisome.

Two lambs have died, four still scour and two are scrawny-kissing wt. Depressing and exhausting... One good sign is the one which could not get upmis now able to lay down and arise. Two Sannen goat will go to the circus.. They are big and in the way most of the time. Also they are hard on the sheep. They have been grea friends and ompanions but now is the time or hem to move on.


Our foster son, Geoff Hubbard, and his 2 children are coming from AL for the weekend. Have not seen him in more than 15 years. Kelzie and Marnie are planning for Ironman Canada in Penpiction on August 28.
