@thordale.bsky.social so since I searched for this once Etsy keeps showing me as they come up. 2xl carhartt vest. www.etsy.com/listing/4388...

Happy Monday. Getting up an hour early real easy today. The sun forgot about the time change and is coming up an hour early.

@kagi.com Have you ever considered putting your engine to work to make custom Bluesky feeds. It would be nice if making a feed was as simple as a few search terms, or accounts. Maybe with a feedback loop of likes generated by the feed.

Raising sheep is complicated by parasites that live in the gut and consume blood or nutrients there. In the USA there is not enough sheep farms to create enough demand for new medicines. Genetic selection of breeds resistant to parasites is key. Both our breeds are resistant.

So to my surprise, the Biden infrastructure act, is going to bring real wired internet to my house. I'm 7 miles outside a town of 13,000. The downside is that it will be Xfinity (but better than Century Link). I have a GREAT ISP that answers calls on the 2nd ring, but it's microwave and 30mbs. hmm.

Which of these is not like the others? They are out on nice pasture all day long, but they really like their hay when. We bring them in at night.

Our Gulf Coast Natives have some of the same identifiers. A black dot here or there, golden or white face. I guess I should make some introductory videos.

(From Instagram LiveStock Conservancy today), Gulf Coast sheep fit their challenging environment so well that for centuries, they were the only sheep to be found in the deep South, providing wool and meat for home production.... (see alt text for complete info) www.livestockconservancy.org/join

Brazil aims for record 102.2M tonnes of soy exports in 2025, driven by a bumper harvest and soaring Chinese demand.

AWS is down, post hog

AWS is down, post Hog:

Looking forward to running into town and having a Starbucks pumpkin spice latte, then headed to the mall for shopping. Will post a haul video this afternoon.

Good Morning, would you have any treats on you?

Just a minute of relaxation as the May lambs enjoy a cool evening. They were just so happy that spontaneous jumping just happened.

So having some fun with the phone. Slow motion sheep sprint. Delilah takes the win as usual, she aggressively stakes out her starting position to be first off the line and then uses her 360 spinning propeller tail for extra speed. #SmallFarmLife #SkySheep

Running of the sheep. We have them in a far pasture and oddly they know how to get to the barn. But then get suspicious and need to verify no lions are in the barn before going in. Oh and lamb pixel waiting for slow mom Maria before going in.

This mornings sunrise nd a couple pics of ram lamb Orlando who may be on his way to a new pasture in Gainesville.

So our 'million' dollar ram, Jolly is back in action. After 4 trips to the vet and 3 sets of xrays, the splinting worked great, the vet is very happy, said the 'callouses' grew alongside the bone as hoped. He is split free this morning, and in a week will be out in the pasture.

Welcome fall, our first cool foggy morning of fall.

Happy Sunrise Equinox, ok it was yesterday but I didn’t get a good sunrise picture. Currently the sun rises due East from our house over a huge live oak at the edge of the property. We are finally getting some cool weather 71f/22c this morning, going to 88f/31c.

Some happy sheep, we gave them a section of paddock with tons of Spanish needle and dog fennel.

@sentimentbot.bsky.social I’m I doing a good job of being a timeline cleanse?

So, we put the ram group into the chicken area because the grass was getting overgrown. We had some rain, and so one of our Rams (Baaad Boy) decided that he could fit into the shelter for their food and water. Also, our Ameraucana chickens make the most colorful eggs.

We said goodbye to Pirate last night. A very friendly, one eyed cat, of advancing years. He came with farm when we bought it 4 years ago. Found him peacefully laying in one of his favorite spots. He’s was the virtual mom to Lavender our baby stray.

Honeysuckle is about the same, maybe slightly worse—hard to tell. I have to give her steroid shots every day for a while and she’s so over it. I have Lamby and Freya at home to keep her company during her recovery.

So as Heritage Sheep farm, I love what they are doing here. In USA you need to know your farmer and buy from them. Or you will just get 'Austrailian Lamb' at the store. EG: bulk buyers want lambs at about 100-110 lbs so that the chops fit the plastic tray.

Good Morning, happy Wednesday. This morning’s sunrise and some HUGE mushrooms I saw yesterday (that is my size 12 boot for scale)

October 8 to 12 Sun Valley, Idaho transforms into the stage for one of America’s unique cultural events. The Trailing of the Sheep Festival draws visitors from across the country. Hundreds of sheep march through town, honouring the region’s ranching history www.travelandtourworld.com/news/article...

Todays unexpected task. Take our little ram 'Jolly' to the vet, cause he crashed into a gate yesterday (maybe with some help). We splinted it last night but were not sure about our work, so he went to the vet this morning. #SmallFarmLife

🔊So, sometimes you just have to "Go To Tape" to see how the hose to the automatic waterer snapped off, breaking the metal fitting at the end of the hose. So this is the ram stall, and they are a lot more rough and tumble than the ladies. Look at how they stare at it afterwards. #RamBoys

Our dark seekers say don’t let the morning sun hit you or you’ll catch on fire.

A still and quiet morning (so far). The sun is returning south and sunrise/sunset pictures get easier. I can hear some crows cawing, tinsel the rooster is crowing, and some muted baa’s coming from the barn. Just a bit cooler right now, but our days are still very hot.

They are on lush pasture all day, but still a feeding frenzy when brought in at night. Enjoy your minute of zen. #gulfcoastnativesheep

Happy Friday, from our gang to you! #SkySheep #SmallFarmLife

The sheep always follow the same path to the field, even if they have grazed the whole path clean. They also will make some passing lanes, where slower sheep can be passed. Instinct, I guess makes them do this, and we find it interesting. #BlackBellySheep, #GulfCoastNativeSheep, #SmallFarmLife

They grow so fast. Honey (in Tracy's lap) was the smallest of Andie's (background getting scritches from me) triplet lambs. From the first week she was always open for scratches or a sit on the lap. mother, Andie, was a 4H ewe and is very tame. Honey is getting to big for sitting on a lap.

"Bucket Training" day, so that they will follow you if you have a bucket of feed. I'm trying to teach the lambs but the mom ewes are not helping, the moms are hogging all the feed. Bucket held high: If moms can get their head in the bucket, you won't get them out. #SkySheep #SmallFarmLife

200 followers, how awesome is this--thank you, my dear friends here, for joining me & the gang for regular updates about the road ahead!

We don’t buy a lot of sheep anymore, but we welcome Sarah-Ann (left) and Errol to the farm. There are very limited genetics available in blackbelly sheep and Errol brings in different genes so that we now have 3 ram lines. They are both named after historic Bajans, and are happy to have new faces.

We are approaching the end of mango season. Showing our mango technique. Put it stem up and slice along the pit to remove the cheeks. Then remove the long sides along the pit. Slice chunks while it is still in the skin and remove with spoon or mason jar.

Emilia (L) and her March lamb Chloe (R) wondering what you all are up to. They are bored, sitting around ruminating until the shepard opens the gate this morning. #SkySheep #GulfCoastNativeSheep

Ending the day with a delightful story: www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

I haven’t done sunrise/ sunset pictures for a bit. This time of year the sun is far north and is behind wooded area on our farm. So Moorise, Sunset, #caturday, and sunrise in last couple of days.

The Great Escape July 11, 2025 , early Morning. The gate is closed by a Carabiner on a eye hook. Apparently the shepherds didn't get it secured. First a lamb knocks it loose, then Ginger and then Andie lead everybody to the great escape. I love the lambs staring as Andie opens the gate.

Having lamb break, then Joy announces that it is her turn for scritches. #SkySheep, #barbadosblackbelly, #GulfCoastNativeSheep

In a nutshell we are paying a lot of money to deport farm workers, the same time that we are expanding the program to bring in migrant workers, and reducing protections in that program.

The Gulf Coast Sheep Breeders association has given me permission to create a presence in BlueSky for the association. If you like sheep, are a fiber person, or want to learn more about the breed please follow. I think it will be information and lots of cute sheep pictures.

Some Gulf Coast Native Sheep beating the heat wave. GCN's have adapted to the heat by losing the wool on their heads, legs and sometimes bellies. Of course cool treats are always appreciated. 🐑🧶

@kagi.com I don’t have cute dogs like a lot of your users, but I have calming lambs after a day of design cloud infrastructure.

1/ So I'm a typical American, when Asked how they are doing, the answer is always "Good" even if I have blood spurting somewhere. Last week I underwent prostate cancer surgery and while I am sore, it went well. I'm under a 10lb weight limit and I'm slower walking and bending.
