Fall Shearing

The shearer came to give everyone a fall haircut. It makes it easier to see how everyone is doing going into and throughout the winter as well as making lambing a little easier for everyone. We tried to get some pictures of the ewe lambs , but they seemed to think group pictures weren’t what we should be doing, so instead, here are some up close and personal Shots

2024 Lambs

Wellington the sire of this years lambs has really performed well. Daily grain this year averaged .8 lbs/day for ewe lambs and .85 lbs/day for ram lambs with several ewe and ram lambs gaining over a pound a day. Every year I’m amazed with how well Texels turn grass into big strong lambs that forage well and keep growing thought the summer on our pastures. We still have some exceptional ram lambs available including Cogsworth who weighs 116 lbs at 94 days old.

Happy Gotcha Day

Happy gotcha day to the best farm dog we could have asked for. Josie has fit in since her first day on the farm and has made herself right at home. her herding skills are coming along and she moved some cull ewes from the barn paddock out to pasture yesterday. I just wish I could shepherd and film, but oh well. Best investment in the farm to date. We love you Josie.
