It’s been very busy here lately, but we’re now done lambing. We ended the year with 89 live lambs and five stillborns. One lamb died at one week of age for unknown reasons. Another was crushed by a windblown fence, so we have 87 lambs left. We had a lot of first-time moms with twins, so that’s pretty good. Of the 66 ewes who were bred, only three failed to lamb. They will be guests at Revolution Brewing later this summer.
We’ve started our tight mob grazing of the sheep, and it’s been going very well. It should help our pastures do better through the drought.
