I saw them while surveying some ground to graze. |  | This is the second photo of deer and you can see them very well. |  | | This is Lucho. He is the extra special lamb that everyone loves from lambing. He was born with a neck problem but he doesn't let it slow him down. He loves people and Border Collies even more. Mick cannot figure him out. |  | Neil and I invented this today. I have more fence to take down then I have reels to put it on. So, we came up with a way to transfer the fence onto this big reel by using the 3-wheeler and stuff we had sitting around to make it motorized to transfer the fence. Much better then sitting there for days and days turning the reel by hand. |  | | The Chevy is back, $1100 of repairs and many, many days in the shop. I just hope the Ford and Chevy can become "Friends". |  | The Grounds-Crew. These are the bummers that I didn't want to send up to the stubble. So, I fence the backyard with electronet and they are keeping the grass down. |  | | As seen from the front, you can see the reels that we are taking the fence off of. |  | Photo from the back. |  |

04-13-08: Marking Lambs Spring 2008 | Moving home from lambing camp. Dogs, Chickens all in one load. |  | Corrals setup as night pen, sorting ewes and lambs at marking. |  | | Britney came over with Charles to work for the day. She is applying insecticide to the lambs in the areas they are banded. Jorge is holding the lamb. |  | This springs intern, Neal on the left and last summer's intern, Charlie on the right. They are putting in eartags. |  | | Susan, Jorge, Eric, Neal and Britney. The assembly line. |  | Jorge (Herder) and Britney in front. Charlie and I in the back. I am putting on the tail and castration bands. |  | | Jorge has picked a huge lamb. |  | Jordan and Blaine are Susan's boys. They came out to work for the day. Shearing and lamb marking are the hardest jobs of the year. |  | | Mick working lambs in the corrals. |  | Good picture of the lambs at this age. See if you can find the lamb that jumped back in the pen. Hint, it has an ear-tag. |  | | Susan and Jorge lifting lambs. Hard job. |  | Neal putting in ear-tags and Jorge lifting lambs. |  |
03-10-08: Lambing 2008 | Charlie and Ace. Charlie was our summer intern last year. He did so well with Gale that we made sure he got one of her pups. |  | Me trying to get the feel of catching sheep back, by practicing on Nilton (sheepherder). |  | | One of Gale's pups learned to sleep with the bummer lambs, they had a heat lamp and she loved it. |  | Action shot, how not to catch a sheep. |  | | Jorge the herder with his dogs, Greg, Chocolate and Bobby. |  | Ewes that have had their lambs and are just waiting around. |  | | Bummer lambs. |  | Jake (puppy) is getting really big. |  | | Jake, Katie and Gale checking sheep on the stubble, spring 2008. |  | Two water tanks, the herder's wagon and lots of sheep. |  | | Stubble, Spring 2008 |  | Stubble, Spring 2008 |  | | Jorge and Neal. Two herders, spring 2008 |  | Jorge, Neal, Gale (border collie), Nitlon and me. |  | | The Honda 4-wheeler got killed (motor blown up) on the grass-circles so this lambing season we used the backup, Honda 3-wheeler. |  | This years lambing herders. From left to right. Jorge, Louis and Nilton. |  |
