Stories from the Farm

I always enjoy visiting Tammy’s farm and my son LOVES to see her and her animals. 

I had just talked to her about coming to see her new lambs, but we hadn’t set up a time.  Circumstances made for an unplanned visit yesterday! 

This little (big) guy was the reason for the unplanned visit.  Tammy was in town teaching a class and her son was home and noticed that the ewe was having problems.  A couple calls later I was on my way down to see if I could help.  He is a big lamb and the ewe had managed to get him most of the way out, he just needed a little help making it the rest of the way.  I’m glad it was a fairly minor problem and it gave us a good excuse to see the rest of her lambs.

Tammy has Jacob, Katahdin, and Blueface ewes.  She crossed them all with this handsome guy…

He is a Blueface ram

and has a beautiful fleece!

This angelic lamb is a Blueface x Katahdin ewe lamb

and this is her adorable sister.

These two are natural colored Blueface ram lambs.

This girl is a real beauty

and this is her handsome brother.

I had fun watching the lambs play and interact with the chickens. 

My son’s favorite part was this goat.  I’m not sure why she thought his head tasted good, but that’s a goat for you 🙂

I love this picture!

On our way home, we saw a bunch of wild turkeys and this guy let me take his picture.  A great afternoon!
