No sausages and pies for me

[Keren]

The three cull girls, aptly named sausages, pies and jerky have been on feed for the last six weeks. I looked at them yesterday -- bl00dy sausages and pies are springing!

Looks like no sausages and pies for christmas, just jerky.

oh, oh! sounds like you might a missed a nut on on one the wethers!!

Actually no, not a good thing, although reading it again I see how you got that idea.

They are culls because they are mongrel dairy cross does that keep jumping the fences.

Actually, I dont think its one of the wethers because the time frame doesnt fit. The does were bought in from a friend. Sausages and pies are yearling does that had been running with the herd, and jerky is an old bag. We got them in a group of mainly old ones, that had just had the kids weaned off them. The two young ones were just added in there. We got them to background for a few months before exporting. Anyway we think one of the little bucks may have gotten a bit carried away before he was weaned, because the friend we got them off has does springing too.

Anyway, I will just have to eat someone else :lol:

Maybe they think they need a 2nd chance :lol: ;-)

Well, its not a second chance, but its a three to five month reprieve, because as soon as they wean the kids, they will be gone.

I wonder if they knew what was coming when we re-tagged them and wrote on their tags "Sausages" "Pies" and "Jerky" :lol:

None of them has kidded yet, but pies lost the cervical plug today so she will be close. Had three born today.
