I'm Waiting!

   The lambs are doing well! I'm currently waiting for Rose and Bar to lamb. I am really looking forward to their lambs in particular. Little Country Acres and Underhill Farm have quality aniamals and these two are no exception! Rose has a bigger bag then Bar's, but Bar is fatter than Rose. I don't have a clue as to who will lamb first!
   When lambs and kid goats come along, it's habit to pick a favorite. This year is difficult. I love Black Beauty (ewe from Davina) but she's not quite to my standard as far as fleeces go. I'm waiting to see how she matures before I rule her out. Beauty's a little sweet heart. When you go to the gate, she will run up to you and expect a scratch on the chin. My favorites as far as fleeces go are the two lambs from Alberta, Winn-Dixie and the ram lamb. (Still haven't got a name for him) The ram is for sale may be interested in trading for a polled ram of equal value.
 
   Here is the ram and Winn-Dixie. One the other side of the ram there is more spots. He is cute! To see another picture of him go to the 'For Sale' page.

They Are Getting Close!

   My ewes getting closer and closer to lambing. I was told when I bought Davina that she wouldn't lamb until Mid-April. I think she's closer than her former owners thought. She has got a big bag already, and she's as fat as I'll get out. I hope to get a grey ewe out of her, since the sire of this lamb is a grey. Davina has AMAZING crimp to her fleece, and I'm hoping she'll pass it to her offspring. Alberta is right behind Davina. She is just as fat, if not bigger than Davina. I counted the days, and she is due and of this month, beginning of April. Her bag isn't as big as Davina's, but its getting there. Bar is pretty big too. All of them look big except for Rose. I believe Rose is bred, but I think she may have a single. You never can tell. I know sheep and goats are different, but I had a nanny last year throw triplets and she didn't look like she was carring even one! We thought the nanny wasn't bred at all.     All of my sheep have such d

And Where Has it Gone?

   I'm sorry for not posting sooner, life gets hectic, especially when you have the responsibilities of a farm. The lambs are growing at a rapid pace. They look marvelous! Daisy is probably my favorite ewe as far as fleeces go. I am definitely keeping her!    Someone had called and placed a deposit on Albert, one of the ram lambs I have for sale. Unfortunately, he had to cancel the purchase due to family issues. If they do not sell I will be forced to take them to the auction. There is nothing wrong with taking an animal to an auction, but male animals normally go to slaughter. Both of these rams have the potential to be great flock sires. However, there is always something better that comes along and there isn't a home for every cute ram out there.    I have also placed one of my ewe lambs, Martina, for sale. If you are interested in her, please email me! I'm asking $100 for her. To see a picture of her scroll through some of my older posts and you will see lamb pictur

Been A Long Time!

     Its been a long time since I've graced this blog with my presence, much longer than I had ever intended. Spring of 2014, I had a total of 11 lambs, all sired by Three Creeks Tank. I only kept one lamb from the bunch, Mossburg, who I used as flock sire this past fall. I sold several of my mature ewe and am down to the small total of four. This summer I intend to increase my herd again, but for the time being, I felt it best to decrease my flock. I will try to be more diligent about posting. Bye for now!
