Luckily they’re (mostly) self sufficient.

Oh yeah, we can see everything in the pasture from the back deck of the house. The 6 month.old calf tries to play with the sheep, but they don’t understand why this giant is chasing them.

Sheep are, in my experience, the dumbest livestock around. The will shove their head through fence openings to eat the exact same grass on their side, get stuck, and then just bleat to be rescued. They are coyote unaware, and will stare at them instead of running away to the barn. They fall in ponds and creeks and can’t get back out. Get tangled up in blackberry vines and get stuck.

Wild sheep are probably smart in order to survive, but domestication has removed all semblance of cleverness.

I haven’t, no. The name of this place is (or reasonably should be) Good Enough Farms.

Most of the things are pretty easy. The sheep are self-sufficient most of the time, unless they’re lambing or getting stuck in a fence. The are the dumbest mulotherfuckers around. Same with the cow, but since she’s nursing, I supplement with alfalfa pellets. Other than her and the chickens, there isn’t a whole lot to do but manage the nonsense from afar.

Well enough, I’m always injured in one way or another but the work still needs to be done. I realized after this happened the chicken feed needed to be replenished, as did the alfalfa pellets for the cows. So that was neat, carrying the feed sacks where they needed to go like a decrepit old man.

I bent over this morning to scoop out some feed for the chickens and threw out my lower back.

So, not enough it seems.

I’ve had this same issue, and tried lots of things. Bar Keeper’s friend, that orange paste crap they sell, all of these are abrasive and scratch the surface of the ceramic, allowing the stains to get worse.

The answer is two-fold. To clean it, fill the sink with very hot water, like near boiling. Then, mix in some powdered oxi clean and let sit for 15ish minutes. You will be amazed when you drain the sink how clean it is.

The second step is to reseal the sink with a commerical product, I found several on Amazon. This will prevent it from happening again, but not as well as when the sink was new. I haven’t found any products that reseal it quite as well as the factory sealant.

Hope this helps you.

This guy’s a fucking veterinarian?? Ha!
