On the Outside…Looking In

posted in: farm, sheep, Uncategorized 0

While most people are enjoying winter from the inside looking out, farmers are on the outside and are too busy to look in!  This winter has been quite mild but there has still been plenty of work with winter feeding/haying along with keeping the sheep and horses inside, out of weather.  The snow and below zero wind chills have finally ended (for now).  It has been nice to have the livestock back outside and have a bit of a break from the constant work of keeping them in.

Farm and Shop Updates…

cormo ram

My Cormo ram, Pyt, has found a new home.  He left along with my beautiful silver 98% Wensleydale ram and 2 of my 93% black rams.  These are all excellent rams with great fleeces and confirmation.  I have had lots of really nice lambs by them.  I will be introducing new genetics next fall.  These ram will continue to put beautiful lambs on the ground at their new home.

 

Shop news:  I have added some washed locks to the shop.  I will be adding some dyed Wensleydale roving and locks in the next few days.

I have added another horse to the herd!  Atarah is a beautiful 4 year old Paso Fino mare out of proven show lines (La Conga X Dali).  She has been shown successfully in regional shows (in GA 2014/2015) and also placed well in the 2015 Grand National Paso Fino Horse Show.  She has lots and lots of brio!  🙂
