Thanks for the photos, once all that snow melts it should really green up.
What breed is your dog. Are the sheep Columbia's and Suffolk?

I believe you have more snow left on the flats than we do Jody.

Cattle look great, ewes in sheep-shape condition. :wink:

I doubt I will find the time to get ours sheared before the 25th. You'd think a young fella like that H would offer to come and undress the ladies for us old guys. :D

The dog is a Akbash x Pyrenees, The ewes came years ago from Dad’s uncle range operation. But the old Rambouillet ewes got hoof rot in the wet meadows, Dad used Romney rams for years, I used Dorset for a couple years then Columbia Rams and Suffolk. Most the Smut Face and Black face came from a flock my son bought for $25/ ewe, his $625 investment grossed over $5,000
So the white wool is course and the black face is not worth much.

The 2 house above the tractor on the hill, they used to fly in for a weekend in 2 G-4 or 5s and rent a third. The down turn they sold their Gulf Streams and just rent jets now, they sew clothes for their money. She owned the house in California that Michael Jackson died in. Cut last spring trip short.

I can see Walker Inman's house on top of a ridge across the valley from me. He was Doris Duke's Nephew
