It was fun and break time meant visiting baby animals all over the place.<br /><br />I'm glad you are finding homes for your sheep. I know the feeling of having to cut down or put in the freezer. Our two whethers are going in the freezer this fall ... they aren't worth keeping for wool, since we have so much with the three ewes, which will be bred again this fall.<br /><br />I am also glad that your husband is getting stronger and going back to work. That is a big relief.<br /><br />Have fun with the application!Jnlanghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14748910209833545321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3036390833719709995.post-52508240030229795362012-10-14T21:29:59.763-05:002012-10-14T21:29:59.763-05:00Thanks everyone!
