spinandslide, you have puddles!!! I bet you're happy about that. Love seeing people's pictures of their ranches and farms and other livestock too. Didn't know you had sheep. No cattle photos?

Tell me about the little red run-in shed.

 

[spinandslide]

Yes, we are..Im afraid it may be alittle to late..but tromping thru muck and puddles is a good thing either way.

I got the sheep for my border collie to work..and then the flock grew. I actually like them better then my cattle...alot less labor intensive.

that shed my husband built for me..its on the verge of being to small for all the sheep now (hence the larger shed in progress in the pictures), but he made it out of scrap from the full size sheds he built. I am blessed to have a husband who is very good with a welder.

Here are afew pics of the cattle..

These are two of our calves from this year..

Thanks for the pics! I really like those hay rings.

The hayrings are horse ring yokes and then steel rings..heavier then anything, but they hold up really well..I have a cow who thinks it's fun to jump in bale feeders..she cant do it with this type of ring.
