The Good Shepard

    Something happened yesterday that made me think. Well, I was putting the lambs and the sheep in the barn for the night, and Pete Moss decided that he didn't want to be caught, he wanted to do what his little heart desired. I spent hours trying to catch him, or at least trying  to run him into the barn. He would have no part of it. I had just about caught him and he got away from me. I was about in tears, I had spent hours trying to catch one lamb that didn't want to be caught. Then a thought struck me. In the Bible we are mentioned as being 'the sheep of His pasture'. How many times have we run from the Good Shepard to do what we want to do when all the Lord was trying to help us, or in better terms, save us from ourselves? I was upset about one lamb who wasn't listening to my instruction. I wonder how heartbroken the Lord must be for almost the entire world is running from him. 
   Thats all for today. 
        Signed,
    A Willing Sheep

It's That Time of the Year!

   Lambing has started for the year! So far I have gotten a ewe and a ram lamb from Davina. They are simply darling! However, I have already sold them. I have sold the lambs, Davina, and Tank to a person that is wanting to get started with sheep. So, ram hunting once more. All of my ewes are expecting, looking forward to what is to come in lambing 2014!                                                                        Ram lamb ewe lamb As you can see, I got a gullie ewe, just like I wanted.

Four Fewer?

   I was able to sell four of my Shetlands, my two ram lambs from this spring, Martina and Alberta, a couple of my ewes. I hadn't planned on selling Alberta, and I had Martina listed for sale, but I really didn't need to sell either them. But, these were the two I was willing to let go. This leaves me with nine sheep, eight ewes and a ram... four fewer.    Since I am selling Pete Moss, I will be breeding Davina to Tank. This will probably be the last lambing season I will keep Davina, I will most likely sell her after she lambs. She is getting up in age , and she isn't my finest fleeced ewe. She isn't old, but she is getting there. I have also entertained the idea of selling Tank after this coming spring. If I were to get a Gullie ewe from him out of Moss Rose, I would be more than happy to sell him. I would hope for a Gullie from Moss Rose, and not my other ewes, as she is my best fleeced mature ewe.    It sure seems li...

Updated Sales (Oct. 21, 2013)

I have decided to sell my current ram and one of my ewes, Davina. LostLakeFarm Davina Fletcher Magnolia x BluffCountry Cappucino Moorit. Born in 2006. She is currently being exposed to Three Creeks Tank. Great mother, no problems lambing since I've owned her. Sold as is (No promises that she is bred, but she has been exposed to ram) Will be ready to go middle of Novemer.  $100 Three Creeks Tank-- BEAUTIFUL dark brown scurred gulmoget ram lamb. He is by Caulfield Horatio out of Three Creeks Sinead. He has what I believe to be an intermediate fleece.  Tank will be ready to sell by the middle of November. I'm asking  $75  for him.  If you are interested in the pair, I will sell them for  $150.  Davina is not related to Tank, but the lambs that she will be having in the spring are. If interested, please look at my terms of sale. Email lorrie.killion@aol.com for more information on these sheep!
