Whew...doesn't seem right to see sheep panting like dogs. The goats spread out around the pasture, under shade trees, lying up against rocks cool from the night. The sheep pile up together in the sweltering lean-to's. I spread fresh hay in there to make it more comfortable and keep the flies down, but it's still disgusting. The next time I build sheds they will have wheels on them for moving to fresh ground every couple of days.
Tried shearing baby Belle, the first kid born this year, the other day. The sweat running through my eyes and her bucking made the job impossible. I will wait for a break in the weather. 117 yesterday in Las Vegas where my grandkids live....
Too much to do. Sew tote bags, make soap, call lawyer about incorporating, groom rabbits, clean cages, clean house (what's that?) Have the bunnies in air conditioning for the first time in over ten years. Plan on getting the remaining outside bunnies inside too when the new cages come. So much easier to control flies, cooler for them, no freezing bottles in the winter. I work so hard for that angora...but love it, love it, love it.
TTFN!
