Well guys as you know here in balmy southern Michigan we are now getting and supposed to get a foot of snow in the next day or two. It wouldn't be bad except that it's slush comming down not snow. As well as raising goats I raise sheep, exotic Jacobs and a few meat sheep each year. Because of the cost of breeding age ewes most of mine are very old. Granny a Rombulate is past old. Now Granny is friendly but if you try to move her to fast she just plops her fat fanny down and refuses to move at about 250# not even goat hater can move her. Anyway because of the bad weather and her age I will be bringing her into a barn today. She lays down and refuses to get up until she has been down so long it is hard for her to get up. Hopefully the evil dog Jack will be able to move her otherwise it could take me all day. If I use grain she will follow but so will all the other sheep(not a good thing). If I steal her lambs she will also follow very fast, but of course no lambs are due yet. So anyway here is a preliminary laugh it's a small one I am sure for whats to follow but a laugh all the same. Hope you all have a wonderful day. Oh did I mention not even a wet dog smells as bad as a wet sheep, nothing says yummy like 250# of wet wool. If this goes bad we could all have a knitting B. Catch ya later
