Off We Go

These lovely Shetland sheep and cashmere goats will be delivered to a couple later today.

Little Easter Lamb

This pretty little ewe lamb went to a sweet young lady and her family this weekend to be bottle fed and will enjoy the company of several other grazers. She is out of a black ewe with white fleece, #23 which we are retaining for further breeding.

It seems we have preponderence of  ram lambs so far this year but a few more ewes are due to lamb.

Just a Highland Boy

 

This handsome red bull was born 08/13/2010; he's really filled out recently and has a wonderful coat and nice mop of hair on his head; so glad we kept him a bull.



Hens Going Camping

Tonight 5 hens will make their way to settle 5 of last year's drakes at a campground with a pond.

Saturday, the white ram lamb will go to his new home. So happy to find homes for the boys! Last year, our own twins got a concerned look on their face when realized that all the the boys were going off; I did explain that it's only the livestock and we won't be sending them anywhere anytime soon. This year they seem to get it.

Around and Around We Go

This weekend we parted with 3 Highland cows, the last we are selling this year. Sad to see them go, but the circle of life continues and a new generation is already on the way. Adorable little lambs being born daily definitely takes the bite off seeing so many of the cattle find new homes.
