September is here and there is a cool breeze in the air. Summer did not last long enough.
She had lots of pasture this year, we opened up two more fields and God gave us a lot of rain for lush pastures. The lambs are almost as big as their mama's now.

A few photos of lambs out in new pasture.

 

It is July!! I finally have a new laptop that works. Sorry for not being up to date.
Sheared 44 adults in June. Photos will be updated on the For Sale page and ewe page.

April 2016

April has been wet and snowy. Spring is taking its time and even teasing us some days. Lambing goes into full swing this month so I'm very excited.

March 2016

March has come in like a lion. Blizzard one day and 40 degrees the next. Getting excited for lambing to start.

Winter has arrived. It was slow in coming and we are grateful for that. 

Started feeding hay in mid December.

Did some heavy culling this fall.

Jeepers! I've missed a whole month of posting.
I guess its just because we've been so busy.

 We put a new roof on the barn.

Fenced in another 20 acres of pasture. 

New additions this year from Sheltering Pines Shetland Sheep Farm.

Shearing day has finally arrived. Master Shearer Dave Kier arrived a bit later this year, but with all the wet weather this year it can't be helped. 38 shetlands sheared in an hour and half, and all went smoothly. We are so blessed to have Dave as our shearer.

Lambing season is coming to an end. Still have 3 more ewe's to go before final count. The weather has finally warmed up and the grass is starting to grow. We put some of the first born lambs and ewe's out and they are enjoying running and playing.

March 2, girls were put into their lambing pens. We should be seeing lambs in 4 weeks.

It's a new year!

February is when we send in fiber samples for micron testing of our fleeces!
