We are having Indian Summer and I'm loving it. Beautiful colors and warmer weather. We sorted through our flock yesterday and culled out quiet a few of them. Then I got coats on some of the girls. Going to have to buy some more.

August 2014

It has been a very cool summer. Its 8-20 and the leaves are starting to turn. Never reached 80 degrees this year, but that is o.k. Sheep are happy.  Today I opened up new field for them that had been occupied by some Canadian geese.

June 2014

June was a busy month of lambing and lots of fun. Final count 14 ewes and 12 ram lambs. All ewe lambs were sold by July. Only a few ram lambs left.

The weather has been on the cool side, but the grass has been growing very well.

Today is July 13th and we had a warm day, 70 degree's YEAH! Baby chicks came in July 9th and it got down to 43 degrees during the night. Needless to say the heat lamp is on.

New fencing up, snow finally gone and grass growing. The sheep are Happy Happy Happy.

Most of our ewe's are done lambing only a couple more to go. April was wet and cool, we still have snowbanks behind the barn. Hope the grass starts growing soon, so the girls have plenty to eat.
