A Little Evening Walk with the Sheep…
Victoria and Madeline walking their 4-H fair lambs every evening…
Most of the time they have a little shadow…
Up and down the big hill, it helps exercise the lambs and builds their muscles…it helps exercise the girls too! ;0)
Then they practice setting them up…
And getting them to brace…
Hard to believe we have fair lambs already. I don’t even want to think forward to fair which means fall is just right around the corner but I’m sure it will be here sooner than I am ready for it…

Fabulous Day…
We spent a wonderful spring day moving sheds to the lambing paddock. Only a week left until we should start seeing lambs!
While dad moved sheds the kids had wheelbarrow rides…
The sheep romped…
and ate…
Dugur watched…
and the chickens did… chicken things.

Hello Spring!
Evening Below the Mountains…
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.
