So glad the mowing got taken care of for you! Yes, you NEED to rest for a while longer; you’re recovering quickly as it is, so don’t push your luck! :)

Those Babydoll sheep sound interesting. I had to look:

Gorgeous spring day here - with the grass cut, the place looks like a park.

I would love some of those Babydoll sheep! Our 40 year old fencing is too far gone, but you can do great things with electric fencing & it’s moveable. It would save me a fair amount of mowing. I wish I liked mutton so there would be a meat option as well with an animal that would be small enough to manage processing yourself. Unfortunately, I have never been able to eat mutton - just the smell of it cooking is barely tolerable. :-(

Both of my nieces are going to be raising grass-fed & finished beef soon. I think I’m going to get them to raise one for me too or perhaps buy a portion of one from them. I’m getting very serious about sourcing my own food.
