Today (why always on a weekend?), Becky came in with a huge gash on her side. We have no idea what she did, but after a trip to the emergency vet in Delta 30 miles away, she’s been stitched up. We were given some stuff to keep her from chewing the drain and stitches, but it didn’t work, so Ken fashioned her a cardboard e-collar. We’ll go back to our regular vet on Monday for a real one.
The good news is that our second-cutting hay was very good. This is especially nice after the disappointing first cutting this year. The barn is full of hay, and we are completely set for winter. It’s such a nice feeling to have hay in the barn to feed all the critters! It’s really good-quality hay, too. Nice, green, and nutritious. The sheep love it, so much that we’ll have to watch so they don’t get too fat.
Ken got the trench dug for the gas line to run the propane heater in the shop. The heater has arrived, and it should be installed sometime in the next couple of weeks.
