due to moving did you move again??? of is this the one you just put a new roof on like LY???

No I haven’t moved again. I’ve been here 2 1/2 years. Just so much to do and only me to do it. I’m lambing now, 26 lambs so far with 10 more ewes to lamb. Ordered 75 CCX chicks with nowhere to put them. So got a load of dirt yesterday to build an above rain lake pad to put a hoop coop on. Raided sheep pens for cow panel and hog panels, replaced with stretch of wire. Have 2x6’s to take apart from hurricane blowing apart a shed last year, for hoop frame. LOL I’m picking up chicks on February 19. It’s official. I’m an idiot. But I’m having a darn good time! I have orders for 50 chickens. Hoping for good lamb sales, combined with chicken sales, to put up at least poles and a roof section, towards a barn.

I’m having some very colorful lambs this year. There is a Katahdin sheep field day in May with the option to bring sheep to sell. So far, it looks like I’ll be taking about a dozen. Conformation first, the color is an added bonus, but eye candy sells!

This is Ewenique, she is 11 years old with twin rams. Life expectancy is 10-12 years, so she is pretty outstanding. The white ram is castrated, future freezer camp member. The spotty one will go to the sale.

A triplet ram.

Look at that face!

I had two solid black rams, one is already spoken for.

For some reason, lambs like to lay on this burned out stump.

Twins. Keeping the ewe, black spot on back. Castrated the ram, freezer meat.

Splashy ram lamb, might go up for sale, haven’t decided.

That's a lovely rich brown on Splashy

I have a brown buck who is consistently placing his marking of white socks & belly mark on mostly brown kids. Even the cross breds are showing it....many doelings. Soon I'll have a "brown" herd, with one sock, 2-3 socks.
