Yeeessss! We finally took those of the sheep that were to be sold to the sale barn! That was Val, since Tag's replacing him, and the three ewe lambs. We haven't enough land to expand the herd, so I didn't keep any. That leaves Tag, the girls, and the two meat wethers. As soon as we get the check I can update my records.
Dad wasn't very happy to learn that we have to pay the sale barn to tag their ears. Federal regulations, instituted since we sold Johnny and the kids. That's the thing about NAIS--it's voluntary, but you have to have it. As Dad likes to say. And he's gotten another job in Firth, fixing another washing machine. Yay! Doug's groaning that he has to go with. His education is suffering, though it really depends on which education we're talking about here. He's learning about fixing things, but he's not starting Spanish or doing his math. And tomorrow we're taking the hogs to slaughter, eight months late. Another yay. And finally, if we're really lucky, we might actually finish ep 5 of RK. Hopefully I'll finish the other two while Doug's in CO this weekend again. Bleach and One Piece are nagging at my conscience.
