The "Farm Flock" is getting ready to start lambing. These are older ewes and show sheep that can't compete with the commercial ewes but still have really nice lambs. We have to keep a closer eye on them and sometimes help them lamb. We have new fences around the pasture, have planted it for the winter. and are getting the jugs ready. The cattle are almost through calving so we'll be able to slow down a bit come November. We've decided to make some minor changes at the home place since that's where visitors come first.We want to have examples of our larger operations and use it as a teaching center. We have leased the 16 acres adjacent to us so we can have more pasture space. With the solar cubes we've been able to add better lighting and security cameras. The well will be able to handle keeping the pastures greened up, and we've terraced for better drainage. We will keep a few animals of each species here and limit access to our production herds and flocks for biosecurity reasons.(you can still drive out to the range land and look) We want people to learn how and why we raise our animals on grass and pasturage, what feeding practices are appropriate, and what questions to ask. There is so much false advertizing out there! We feel that it is our duty to teach people about the process whether they buy from us or not.
