Mrs. BoostAddict usually does most of the direct sheep care, but a couple weeks ago she broke her foot falling off a ladder while helping me erect our barn... so I’ve been on 100% farm labor duty (not just technical/mechanical/construction services) for for the last while. It’s been very tiring.

At least the our Blue Faced Leicester ram Freddy is super friendly and makes me feel better...

Today I am taking some time off for a personal project...

Logitech G29 Wheel/Pedals/Shifter + ‘05 WRX driver’s seat (thanks Local Scrap Yard for selling it so cheap!) + various wood and fasteners.

This seat is so nice and clean! I almost feel bad not using it in a car...

The current mounting “solution” is... less than optimal.

Should be fun!

GREAT. Now my wife is going to be mad at me for wanting a Buffalo AND a sheep. Are they a lot of work to have just hanging around the house?

Oh look, new kinja feature. Something’s about to break or go missing.

But if it doesn’t... I like it

Sheep are pretty low maintenance if you have enough pasture land, but they require some work to keep them healthy and clean. If they are well socialised worming, vitamin dosing/vaccinations, hoof trimming and shearing is pretty easy... if they aren’t, well that’s another matter. Sheep are genetically fairly close to wild animals and those who are allowed to be on their own and aren’t kept actively involved with people will go feral pretty quickly. Sheep are exceptionally wiley, FAST, surprisingly strong, and much more capable of jumping than most tame sheep even realize... a feral sheep is more like a wooly deer than a farm animal. Also, not all rams are that nice, some are right bastards and WILL try to kill you. Fred is a special case, though BFL rams tend to be much more mellow in general than other breeds.

well, mobile image posting is broken for me again, so it seems the slideshow feature is status-quo.

My mother-in-law lives on 7 acres in the middle of a pretty big suburb and I am always trying to make a case for more animals because I’m evil apparently. Now I want goats and sheep because the grass grows quickly and there is a lot of it.

Please post updates on your sim rig build. I have my G29 mounted in an okay spot, but my seating is trash.

Has anyone ever told you that you look a bit like Brian Posehn?

I had no idea there were sheep that got that large.

Red and white seems to be the same colours/colors as your tools.

I’m a Makita guy myself.

Yup, Fred is probably over 300 lbs, and over three feet high at the shoulder. He’s a big boy.

I have some green ones too... but no blue.

What make is blue?

I got a dewalt laser level, that’s my only dewalt. The rest of my tools are mastercraft(canadiantire brand) whenever one of them dies, they get replaced by Makita.

classic Makita teal, though I guess Bosch is actually blue... I’ve always thought of the Makita color as “blue”...

it’s funny, I was a professional digital color management nerd for almost 20 years and I still massively generalize color names.
