Shetland sheep have changed my life and touched my heart. They have brought me joy, adventure and serenity. Follow along as I live each day influenced by memories of my mighty flock of mini sheep ~ aided and abetted by "Bellamica", the English Shepherd,"Sable", my livestock guardian dog and "Hero" the rescue dog that stole my heart! You'll also meet many of the homeless dogs that I rescue and rehome as part of Bluff Country Canine Rescue.
Way to go!!! Mine are getting done next weekend, but they are easy because we are not counting farm stuff yet. Maybe next year. Right now I just sell a few eggs.
I loved the post with the pedicure shot - what is that chair/sling thing that she is laying in? I would like to consider getting one!
I really should respond about my "sheep chair". I know that Kristi asked about it on an earlier post...
I bought mine at "Midwest Wool Growers" (cheaper than Premier) about 5 years ago. This past year is the first I've really used it. My 'Ex' and I tried it once the first year but found it just as easy to just 'tip' the sheep. I do find, that if I'm doing it alone, it is KIND OF a help. It's still a WHOLE lot better if you have someone to help you! I can pretty easily lift the lambs and almost-yearlings into the chair. Although, actually trimming the hooves is back-breaking! The adults are another story. Once I hold their heads, with my face close to theirs, and calm them, they generally sit pretty well. For the front feet anyway. The back feet can be kind of tricky. I'm just always so glad to get one done!
It seems like I'm almost always glad when I get something done.
I guess, all-in-all, I would say it is a helpful tool to have. I just wish that it actually made the task "EASY"...
