Handling System/ Lambs Update

Almost ready! We have just a bit of fencing to do to get the system up and running. It's located behind our barn in the ewe's paddock.
And for those who have been asking.....lambs!

You'd think after taking 40 pics I'd have more to share!

    Kim,
    Oh, good! Mine is up too!
    I put mine up in the hoopbarn as it is winter when I absolutely need the handling equipment. I see you got the tension rope up. I haven't managed that part yet. Is the handling system worthwhile yet? Susan

    I haven't even tested it out yet but yes, it's definitely worthwhile! We have to complete a short fence line in order to move the sheep directly into it. We have to buy a couple more hog panels and I doubt we'll have the time this week. I'm heading off to Orlando on Thursday and next weekend I'll be heading off to see you in WY! Kim

    The handling system is going to be nice when you use it. I love your black Shetland Mule ewe lamb. I wish I would have gotten one of those! My black Shetland Mules were all boys. The NCC Mule ram lamb is very pretty too. Time to shear that NCC Mule, man, has she got a lot of fleece!
