This meme gets another round for 2024.

First thing out of his mouth when he walks in: "Why are the sheep racks on the truck???"

Me:🥺

The bachelor pad...all my ram lambs together! For the first year ever, they ALL have incredible horn sets. 😁 There is usually always one terrible set...last year there were 4. It was awful! Why???? Those rams are all going to the freezer. 🥩

Thank you to my Sanban (3rd) child today for helping me build the worst assembly project I have ever purchased. Shiban checked on us from time to time and supervised the chicken transfer to the new coop by Ichiban. Niban was nowhere to be found.

I bought this bc I can't stand chicken 💩. This has a plastic shelf I can pull out, dump and hose off! Every tractor I looked at was flimsy wood and seemed like a waste of money. I found this plastic all-weather 10-yr warranty chicken tractor online and bought a longer coop extension, snow and shade tarp, ☀️ solar light, and ☀️ solar auto door. It better be the chicken tractor of my dreams! It said 3 hours, we took 7. We watched videos, used the manuals, and still have extra parts but wanted more of parts we ran out of. We're sunburned, filthy, and I got bit by a wasp 🐝 halfway through and it hurts like a mother.

It will pay itself off after only 3,600 eggs. 😂 😂😂 It's going to be great. My greatest regret is not drinking during assembly. 🍻

Our youngest showed us all how it's done today. She surprised us all with how well composed she was in the ring. She answered the judges questionsabout the goat, and she is usually so shy. The fair can bring out the best in these kids.

Sometimes you don't really WANT to fix the hole in the hose...

The son challenging the father. After shearing, rams don't always recognize each other or remember their status. On the plus side, Artesson gained at least 2 inches of horn curl since the last throwdown in December, so these two can at least collide without their horns spiraling and locking together. Glad to be past that! We put all six rams in a "ram cram" after this shearing for 4 days. I tried 3 days and they hadn't learned, so I had to push them right back in for another day. I'd like to send Artesson off, now that I got my next breeding ram out of him, and then this father-son dynamic won't be an issue on our farm anymore. He's an exceptional ram and I should have shown him. I'd love for him to contribute to someone's flock this fall. Please message me if you are interested. His mother was shown and won grand champion at OFFF as a yearling, I believe.

Bravo Zulu to these two rams. I took too long to feed today, so they broke out of their pen. 😂 Way to take initiative. I'm loving this for you. 😜

Basajaun and Augustus, the farm heroes. I love you guys. 🐶❤️🐶❤️ Don't be afraid to think outside the box on your livestock guardians. I have two different breeds to do two different jobs. So far, so good. They are shaping their roles as the pup matures. Watch for more about what they do here in the coming weeks. 👩🏻‍🌾🐏
