Ok you guys asked for this so here goes! Our first group of lambs are weaned and separated. Wethers to the big fields Ewe lambs at home. Our Angus cross cows are dropping calves in earnest! 15 in the last 4 weeks! Ole Marcel got his job done in record time. This is his last year as our primary sire as he is getting too old to hike the hills. Our young Aberdeen Angus Bull Chuck will be taking over his duties on the mountain. Marcel will move in with the registered gals where life is easy and the pastures are flat. We just finished our audit with Animal Welfare Approved and think the program is amazing. Gracie the youngest of our Border Collies "aka the Velociraptor" started formal training last Friday and took to it well. I think she's destined to be a cow dog, but we shall see. It's hot already here in So. Cal. so we've been busy putting up misting systems, building and repairing watering and irrigation systems, as well as trying to keep up with our Farmers Market and Farm Sales operations. We are also going to be hosting a series of seminars focusing on Natural Production and Livestock Management. I'll try to keep it interesting and the rants to a minimum. Stay tuned It could get Wild.
