It finally happened.  Two weeks after we thought she would deliver.  That was a lot of sleepless nights.  She is a first time mom.  We wanted to make sure everything went smooth.  The last one of our animals to have a baby this spring.  I was really ready to be done and get one with… Continue reading Morgan’s Ram Lamb

Finally this evening Shelby had her lamb.  I had been watching her all day.  It was a big ram.  She was super dramatic during her labor.  Most sheep are quiet. Not Shelby! I ended up having to help her out a little bit.  His legs were on the side of his head instead of under… Continue reading Shelby’s Ram Lamb

This afternoon Harley blessed us with a white and black ram lamb.  We are now over run with boys!  He has black lower legs, black spot and some shading of black on his face.  The coloring is amazing.  Long lanky legs.  So far he is just as sweet as the rest.  Harley is a really… Continue reading Harley’s Ram Lamb

Nutmeg surprised me with her lamb this morning.  I wasn’t watching her at all.  Barely bagged up and not acting like anything was going to happen.  This morning I went out to the barn to feed Muttonchop a bottle.  Looked at the others that I was sure were going any day.  Nothing was happening.  Got… Continue reading Nutmegs Ram Lamb

My pregnant ewes getting some fresh air and hanging with friends before they deliver. Mathias and… Continue reading Fun warm day on the farm!

Spring is here and our calves are getting bigger.  Each one has different personality coming out. Ferdinand the Bull is very quiet.  He is a go with the flow kind of calf.  Nothing really upsets him.  He enjoys long naps and playing with the others. He is so sweet.  Just look at that face! Bella… Continue reading Ferdinand, Bella and Harper (updates)!

Millie delivered our first lamb on the farm Saturday morning.  She tried really hard to get it out by herself.  I wasn’t going to intervene unless she really needed me.  I let her push for quite a while but the head wasn’t budging.  It was huge!  I gave her just a little help to ease… Continue reading Millie’s Big Ram Lamb

Bettie Boop had been showing signs that she was getting ready to deliver.  So I continued my middle of the night checks to make sure I could be there if she needed help. As I wandered half asleep out to the barn I was saying to myself “just a couple of minutes and you can… Continue reading Bettie Boop’s Twins

Cami was due Wednesday.  I had been watching her and she had all the signs.  After checking on her multiple times in the night without progress I thought I missed the date again this year.   Thursday morning I decided I needed to go inside and get a cup of coffee.  An hour later I… Continue reading Cami’s Twins
