Ewe Working?
This past weekend we had the pleasure of working the ewes, checking body condition, udders, and giving them their CD&T vaccination. We like to vaccinate the ewes a few weeks before they start lambing so their lambs will have some passive, temporary immunity when they drink their mother’s colostrum. This temporary immunity lasts for about 6 weeks, giving the lambs a good start.

The lambs and sheep are looking wonderful! Their fleeces have grown all summer long….
The rams fleeces even look exceptional this year!
They are even feeling a bit ramish, those hormones are changing as we creep closer to the end of October.
Thankfully, Brandon was available to shear this last weekend and did a wonderful job!
Some more of the shearing crew…
Jason, my brother-in-law, even sheared a bit. He’s shearing my favorite fleece here…
All business…
A happy Dugur dog…
A pretty mouflon…
Two rams getting reacquainted after loosing their fleeces.
They don’t seem to really recognize each other and will fight reestablish the pecking order. Boys!
What a job! It took the whole weekend but all sheep came out of beautiful and now I have a ton of fleece to sort through! Any helpers?
