Steve

Edith brought over a new ram yesterday. He is going to live here but he'll take care of her ewes and ours.

 Fall color over the pond.

  Sunset in November.

 This hen has been having foot problems so she gets to live in a rabbit cage. She is still laying eggs.

  Edith and Lisa with Steve.

  Steve is a Katahdin ram. We transferred him to the goat gopher for his ride to the barn. He'll be staying in a stall until Lisa finishes training him to be tame.

 The ewes are going to love him.

 We found some sheep handling equipment on craigslist. We got it all set up for worming today.

 The table with the head gate makes it easy to work on them. Getting them into it was a challenge. We'll need to work out the details. Luckily Heather showed up and gave us a hand.

 They didn't mind the head gate so much but they hated the dark ramp chute.

 We finished the gate into the bottom pasture yesterday. It is so we can load hay rolls directly into the bottom without going through the upper sheep pasture.

 We captured the four lambs that are being sold.

  They'll be staying in the stall next to Steve's. They are hard to catch in the open field so since we had them caught for worming we decided to hold onto them.
