Great post, thank you!

Mrs. Clover strutting her stuff. I miss the grass already 😭 I submitted a bunch of my pictures to KHSI for their photo contest. Fingers crossed that one of them get picked! For now i shall spam pictures of sheep in green grass, I have not yet embraced the snow. Willow (left) Brie (center)...

I need some color like that in my flock. She is beautiful!! :love

I didn't even think about it in regards to parasites ready and waiting for them :\ Will I need help getting them to cycle in the fall? like meds or anything? Our fall weather was wonderful, the grass was looking great. Would have been a great time for lambs to be out grazing. We bought a new...

Thanks, I will make sure I have some on hand incase I have a lamb that needs it. Fingers crossed I dont.

Last year they didn't start grazing till mid may :( feels like i feed everyone hay forever!

@Baymule Its mainly for showing. January lambs and early february lambs place better, they are bigger by the time the show comes around. The march's are just so tiny compared to all the other ones in their class. The falls place good as well. So thats what I will be doing next year.

Since we are expecting Lambs in January/Feb time frame. Should I have a heat lamp out for them? I was planing on buying some little lamb coats for them as well. We are in maine so I know its going to be pretty cold. Also, any list of must have shots to give them after they are born? I see mixed...

Alas, I think the season of breaking ice in buckets is upon us :he I think we might need a new water heater for the big water trough, The buckets in one stall stay thawed and in the other...its a giant ice block. Its official Im trying for fall lambs next year. Im already over lambing in January...

I agree! Long and thick/well muscled. Height is just an added bonus since that seems to be desirable in the show ring right now. My rams sire is amazing and pretty much perfect, and his show record speaks of that. If my guy can be half as good as his sire I will be happy. I wasn't sure about...

Breed standard says they are a medium sized sheep with a hair coat and an alert appearance. Head erect and legs squarely placed. (KHSI) Legs should be medium length and bone in proportion to size.(KHSI) Backs should be loin long, wide, deep and well fleshed.

I would say we breed for body style A...i think..... For my brood ewes i want them fairly tall with a long wide back and a big front end because that is where my ram lacks. My katahdins are mainly show sheep for the most part. Culling is the hardest part. But in order to be successful i know...

Oh Lord its cold out this morning. Only 11 right now, with a high of 27.:ep Have to go out and clean the sheep stalls....im gonna freeze my butt off out there! Winter didn't waste any time making its presence know .

Home heating fuel is so expensive, we typically burn wood. But have a diesel furnace as back and its always set at 55. The wood stove keeps the whole house around 70, which is nice. Wood is much cheaper to burn , even if you have to buy it , its still cheaper then diesel. We use propane for our...

I always wondered why i never see insulated jeans for women. I want some of that comfy fleece goodness!

:epwow, that's crazy and way to close for comfort. Defiantly stay armed and aware. Glad you have those dogs to help you ! Be Safe!

Came here to say I love the name Sentry! Perfect for a LGD!

Very good idea, he is tethered out with the sheep so that they may escape. No one is in heat. They are all bred but one. And she only just got here. The humping has been going on for months. He tried to bite one of the ewes udders. He has been on lock down quite a bit.
