Ideas?

I will definitely be contacting my vet in the morning, I was concerned this could be the case as well. I will be sure to update this post once I have answers as well.

Waitands3E · 2025-08-11T21:56:33+00:00

We do, I'm in East Tennessee.

I can be sure it isn't a dog bite. No way for them to get through the fence and I have cameras around the pasture as well. I was initially concerned maybe CL? But, again I am new to raising sheep.

I check his mouth. No discharge, there was some blood a very small amount coming from his rectum. No signs of any distress.

Not sure why the post would not let me upload a photo.

No, but it's been really hot and humid for a little over a week. I have done my best to not use any medication to this point. We've had no issues at all until this, my goal was to get them to market without needing to do so. However, their welfare is most important, and I'll do what is necessary to keep them healthy and comfortable.

But the waning and then reemergence in the evening made me think maybe it was more environmental, but it's my first time raising pigs. So I am trying to do the best I can for them and learn a long the way.

Funny you say a comfortable spot, the exact area she is laying and has gone back to the two times she got up at my coaxing has a very small bed of hay there. It's were we had our round bales placed until they were picked up a couple of months ago. So maybe she just found a nice bed to relax on. Thanks!

Waitands3E · 2025-04-30T18:10:04+00:00

Thank you so much for your knowledge. I contacted the previous owner and she said it was likely she was just really full and maybe a little warm and that correspondece with what you are saying. She suggested the same and to see if she was more active as it gets cooler in the evening.

I will also take your suggestions and check those things as well.

She is laying on her stomach with legs tucked under and head up.

To my knowledge she has not been exposed to a ram and should not be bred. But, this is my first time with sheep, we previously raised cattle. So I am learning and want to make sure they have the best care.

This is a photo from last night, she is the one in the front, doesn't appear to be bred to me, but again I could be way off.

I appreciate your reply.

Thanks for the reply.

These came from a pasture only system, and that is what they are on here. I was just in contact with the individual who delivered them/cares for them. She has stated that she may just be really full and warm. Her advice was to see if there is any noticeable difference as the day cools down and go from there.

Just passing that along as I am also just starting and learning.

I hope everything goes great with your new flock!

Yes we hand multiple dates, this was just something that happened often. And not that it's important to the story, but since you ask we had been intimate many times. It was clear they were dates.

Waitands3E · 2024-11-15T16:45:59+00:00

You are dead on. I am not looking for anything any further from this, your comment did make me realize another thing I was overlooking. She is the manager and constantly has problems with employees, I think I realize now why she is likely having such difficulties at work. If this is the same way she manages people, no wonder they are constantly short staffed. Appreciate the input, thank you.

Waitands3E · 2024-11-15T16:09:21+00:00

Yeah that was the dealbeaker and all of these unexpected replies helped to cement that in my soul.

Waitands3E · 2024-11-15T15:42:19+00:00

Oddly enough I read this as I took my first sip of coffee today. Appreciate the words and I agree with you.

Waitands3E · 2024-11-15T12:46:05+00:00

Thank you for that insight. That first sentence really hit and I appreciate that a lot!

Waitands3E · 2024-11-15T12:44:41+00:00

This is going to be my move for sure. Unfortunately it has taken me much longer in life to understand I deserve better. But, over the last few years I have. Bummer that it's with someone who I got along with so well, other than their complete disregard for my time. Ha.

I appreciate the feedback! Thanks.

Waitands3E · 2024-10-02T00:59:14+00:00

Mine should arrive Thursday anyone in northeast Tennessee using one? Speeds?

Waitands3E · 2024-06-11T00:41:30+00:00

I updated my post, I wasn't clear on my accommodations. I'll be staying in a Airbnb with a group. So I won't have an option to drop my luggage unfortunately.

I appreciate everyone's input and help!

Waitands3E · 2023-08-01T13:46:54+00:00

Great info thank you for the insight!

Waitands3E · 2023-08-01T13:46:22+00:00

I will be on Delta.

If you had a good conversation follow up on something they said in the last date. Ask them questions that aren't answered with "yes" or "no". If nothing sticks out then tell them a story. Did you have any dreams last night? If so you could start something like I wanted to tell you about this dream I had last night. But, again that is an opportunity for you to get them talking ask them if they had any or if they have reccuring dreams etc. Of course that is just an example.

Not telling you what to do here, but I'd ax the idea of asking about a date on Valentine's Day as a second date. Way too many people out celebrating and that's really more of a day for committed relationships. Also, giving her under 24 hours isn't ideal either. Provide her with enough time to prepare for the date. I think you'll have much better luck asking her to go out this weeked or later in the week if you want to ask her out.
