So (the Smaller One)

[Yvonne G]

So was out grazing this a.m. and I had my camera, so took a new picture. I sure wish I could get them out to weigh them. She's just growing so fast!

I realize she's sorta' bumpy. Only thing I can figure I did wrong is I don't have any humidity in their shed...and never have, even before the shed. Guess I should have invested in a humidifier.

They're a little over 2' long and about a foot and a half tall, not counting their legs.

Must have been picture day in your yard. Don't see too many of this type, even on this forum. So cool.

Looks like you have quite the tort buffet out there. Not much grass and a bunch of broadleafs!

Their pen is loaded with a BIG variety of different grasses and weeds. However, every morning they come out to that part of the fence (just like the Russians) and sun to warm up. Consequently, when they're warm they start grazing right there. If I had shown a shot behind me you would see that the grass is about a foot tall and the weeds are blooming and going to seed...but they eat right there where you see them, and I have to take the weed-eater to the rest of the yard. One of these days I'll have to build a gate into their yard so I can bring the lawn mower in (and get them out to go to the scale!)
