The Big Boys
My big guys. I think AJ (NC) will be my backup ram for this year’s breeding season. Angus (white) is looking for new pastures preferably with lots of ladies! Angus carries recessive color – midnight blue, as far as I can tell – and has an amazing fleece, but doesn’t let it go to his …
Summer News
The farm blog has been fairly quiet these last few months, but the wheels are always in motion here on the farm! Along with the typical fencing projects, here are a few other things that are in the works: It’s just about breeding time for Emily so we can have a warm weather calving for …

Bring on the Boys!
The lucky rams got to meet their lovely ladies last night, officially kicking off our 2018 breeding season! As of this afternoon, we’re seeing marks on Irene (courtesy of Romney ram Angus) and Cedar (courtesy of moorit Romeldale ram lamb Chesterton). Unless they are re-marked in a later cycle, we’ll be seeing our first lambs …
Day 5: Sliding Door
The crew took a short day, considering the longer hours they put in throughout this week. But they still constructed and installed the sliding door on the south side before heading out.
