Thanks to Ben, Josh and Gabe (and their Mom and Grandpa!), Lara, Roger, Tristan, Keaton, Keira and Cassie (and their folks Paul and Trina), Courtney and Josie, Zach, and Matthew Shapiro and the Living Lands interns for all of the help yesterday! We were able to shear 16 more lambs (before the sheep shearer got too hot), and we vaccinated and weighed all of the lambs. We also put everyone (ovine) through the footbath. A busy day, to say the least!
Here's an update on everyone's lambs:
Ear Tag Owner Weaning Weight 7/19 Weight
90 Josh 66 73
96 Gabe 62 63
960 Matt 65 68
965 Lara 36 41 (wether)
967 Lara 44 46 (ewe)
995 Keira 54 57
997 Callie 65 64 (ewe - after shearing)
1007 Keaton 56 65
1010 Ben 79 83
1012 Cassie 53 63
1035 Gabe 64 67
1046 Tristan 60 67
Since different people operated the scale, the weights are not entirely accurate. Low weight gains may be attributable to coccidia or other parasites (which we've treated) or to scale operator error. Overall, the lambs all look great. We should see some significant weight gains next time.
Hopefully, others who took photos will post them (if we can figure out how other authors can post entries!). Thanks again!
