Major Spring Snowstorm
Today, we got a major snowstorm. We put the ewe and her twins in a jug with a dog house to protect the little ones. We had another lamb today, too – one ewe lamb. She and her mom got the same treatment. I hope no more ewes lamb for a while. We’re supposed to Continue reading

First Lamb of 2010!
It’s a good thing we burned brush earlier. Today, the wind is blowing hard, with gusts up to 52 miles per hour. There’s a lot of dust in the air, and it certainly would have been too windy for a fire. Of course, one of the ewes decided this was a good time to go Continue reading
