Bertha Lambing


I’m a visual learner so pictures help me big time, but video makes you feel like you’re actually there.

This is Bertha lambing on February 24, 2017.  We allow our ewes to lamb in this big stall so they have more space to move around, then they are moved to lambing jugs (pens) for bonding with their lamb(s).

Today for day 7 of #marchmeetthemaker I'm going to answer a question that was asked on IG.
We have lots of eggs and the egg sign is out! Stop by between 8 and dusk and help yourself at our self-service egg fridge. Regular sized eggs are $3/doz and small eggs are $2/doz. Cash, venmo and paypal accepted.
Shearing 2021 is finished! We only had 16 sheep to have shorn this year... 14 Tunis, 3 Jacob and 1 Babydoll Southdown. I'll be skirting will in the next couple weeks so I can get it to the mills.

Shearing Day!
Cleaning the barn for shearing in the morning. A dirt floor barn can't get much cleaner than this!
In her hand she holds the distaff and grasps the spindle with her fingers. Proverbs 31:19 (NIV)
