Stories from the Farm

This year has felt a little like that song about the cat that always came back.  We have had quite a few sheep find their way back here as well as a few that weren’t born here but needed a new home.  The most recent flock was from a guy that bought a few lambs from us 4 years ago.  He has had several bouts of cancer this year and has undergone radiation and chemotherapy.  I am happy that we were able to take them, but now I need to figure out what to do with them 🙂

They are a lovely group that brought back some fond memories.

This is Petunia and has matured into a beautiful girl.  The interesting thing is that she is Douglas’ sister!

Here she is as a cute little lamb.

This is Aurora

and she reminds me a lot of her mother, Violet.

This is Ellie Mae and I will always remember helping her into the world…

she weighed 16 lbs. at birth!!!  We were sure her mom had triplets she was so big!

This is Dawson and he has turned into a handsome boy.  So we will have lambs from 5 different rams because he has bred the 4 ewes that he came with.  He is really laid back and I would love to find a home for him.  They are all in need of being sheared 🙂

I have started a new page and will be updating it over the next week.  It will include all of the ewes that we have bred, who they were bred to, and their due dates.  We are going to be busy at the end of January!
