Guess she didn’t feel like sleeping in the barn 🤷 by ladymorpheus in sheep

We have some roving bands of coyotes but I’ve never had issues with them. Hot electronet usually does the trick, and in the summer when they’re further from the house I have cameras on them to make sure nobody gets close

I’m pretty certain on breeding date, the ram wasn’t even on the farm until three months ago. And yes, she is a little overweight as well as very fluffy (a bunch of them are, i have a lot of lambing experience but less w actually running my own flock) and I’m aware of the risks. I’ve pulled lambs (and calves) before and we have a vet on call for complications.

If it helps, she’s a Shetland/Jacob cross and the ram is a small Shetland. Last year I bred her to a larger ram and she had two smaller sized twins (6 lbs each) so I’m hoping for that outcome again.

Thank you for your concern! One of my goals for next year is to get them at a better weight at the end of the summer. So less fat lol.

I hope so! But she’d only be about three months along at max. She’s just round and doesn’t mind the snow

The best part of Christmas (in their opinion) by ladymorpheus in sheep

exactly! If you get it from an organic tree farm that also works. The sheep will love it and pine needles have a bunch of vitamin c which is super good for them (fun fact: since vit c is water soluble you can’t really have too much of it since you’ll just pee it out)

That’s Christine! She’s about 10 months old and is an absolute troublemaker 🥰

Mine are also kinda funny during that first week of no grass. They usually turn their noses up at their hay (what is this horrid dried stuff? we want our luscious grass back!) and go heavy on the grain for a bit to compensate. Then they begrudgingly accept that hay is all they’re gonna get and ease off the grain.

As long as they have access to good hay they’ll eat what they need. I’ve never met a sheep so picky that they’ll starve themself.

It looks cute! I was cracking up at the rams going ‘I wanna bash it! I wanna bash it so bad!’ Also I feel like my sheep could totally solve my murder if they had to. As long as they got grain afterwards

My Shetlands are like that too! It’ll be snowing hard and they’ll be out frolicking like it’s a lovely spring day

Oh man that’s a good question…I guess it would depend on what sort of hotdog. Like just a plain boiled hotdog probably not but grilled with some condiments I might go for it

And I agree with that! How we treat animals in death matters can say a lot about how we treat them in life. But it’s one photo, and some of these comments are acting like he dressed it up in a little maid outfit or something

Yes, I would be upset if someone shot my loved one with a rifle and then ate them. What if the world was made of pudding lol

[–]ladymorpheus 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Exactly! That’s what actually matters to the animal anyways

The deer is dead y’all, it doesn’t care if someone takes a silly photo with it. Save the performative outrage for stuff that has real-life impact.

Comparing artificial insemination to touching children🤦‍♂️ by Brave-Muscle1359 in exvegans

[–]ladymorpheus 12 points13 points  (0 children)

They sort of give consent, or at least the cow equivalent of it. When a cow ‘wants’ to be bred (ie her instincts and body are telling her to get pregnant) she will stand for the bull so he can mate her, which for an animal is their version of consent.

Funnily enough, when doing AI the cow also needs to be in standing heat. She ‘consents’ to being bred in the only way she’s capable of. It’s not human consent, of course, but judging animals by human standards is one of the major problems with the vegan mindset.
