I am having to come to terms with possibly selling some of my ewes and I don't like it one bit. What if the other people don't take good care of them. I have a problem letting go of my girls.

Day to day her noises were remarkable but during her birthings - Oh My Goodness - she almost always had at least twins and it was dramah queen deluxe. Her last two kids are so sweet - Lanny and Fanny. I try to pretend my animals are "livestock" - well they are but also living companions in our day to day life. Farewell Martha - glad you snuck some extra grain in there!LindaSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01684545110832413808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-60078416951152260662011-03-29T18:45:02.064-05:002011-03-29T18:45:02.064-05:00Thanks for giving Martha a great life!
