U.S. sheep industry

Hey, hobo, what’s this about sheep? You’re always talking about cows. Cattlemen & women are supposed to hate sheep. Sheep ruin the range, eat everything in sight, blah, blah, blah.

Well, hate to tell you this but any vegetable-eating critter can destroy the landscape if left un-managed. And, besides, we don’t hate sheep (well, except those times a certain sheep sticks her nose through the fence and nibbles on the berry plants or the apple tree that someone planted too close to the fence… oops, there’s that pesky un-managed part). But we do have the largest herd of sheep this side of the road. And don’t forget Betty has goats (yeah, I know goats aren’t sheep but I’m just sayin’….)

I received quite a few comments regarding the meat processor article, so here’s another topic you may find interesting.

Had quite a few projects over the weekend that kept us busy and away from the blog. Fixed some fence (shocker), got the woodshed cleared up and ready for wood, some volunteer elms evicted from the cactus and repotted, garlic beds prepped (sets are on the way!), and other odds & ends around the garden. The evenings are cooling down, the flies know their time is getting short, the chickens are starting to wish I’d knit them some sweaters and the trees are thinking they just may start to change colors this year unlike last year.

There’s more to get prepped before the white stuff starts to fly but not today. Gotta run. Until next time…
