Sadly its a bit to far for us, maybe one day. My goal is to one day make it to the expo and to NAILE .

Oh I would love to go to the expo! Enjoy!!

oh that is a cool looking creep feed! We have been rolling around ideas about how to build/or what to use as a creep feed. We dont have the room for a very large area, so something smaller that like would be perfect for us

I totally didnt know this! I thought it had to do with low temps. very cool!

I worry because they shouldnt have been bred. I hadnt planned on fall lambs ( if thats the case) I was planning on january lambs for shows next summer. I worry because we are new to sheep and I want to make sure I am feeding them correctly, none of the other yearling ewes I have seen at the...

I have to have the vet out in 2 weeks anyways for health certs, so maybe I will ask if she can do a blood test, so we can know for sure. I doubt they would have had a chance to be. He would have had to got them through steel cattle panel and electric wire with a 2 foot space between each of...

They are horrible!!! they chase you then swoop in for the kill!!!!

Here I am asking about udders again:barnie Someone please tell me what I am doing wrong. My yearling ewes udders are slowly getting larger. First it was just one with an uneven udder, one side was large, the other wasn't. We discovered milk in there, figured it was the ewe lamb that was trying...

ahaha! People here wear shorts in that weather! I like it because it makes the bugs not so bad. Black flies are horrible, evil, little creatures!

There is nothing like Fall in Maine thats for sure, the color and Vibrance of the leaves is amazing! I was driving in to town today, and there are trees turning red already:ep I couldn't believe it, some of my apples are already ripe....one of my ewes is already getting a thicker coat. Is there...

The weather has been cool and rainy , which has been a nice change! The squash is growing like crazy...and so are the weeds:barnie I think we might try the weed wrap next year. Getting ready to put our ram in with the ewes. He cant wait , will be nice for him to have some companionship as he is...

Thanks so much! We are new to the whole show thing , it's been a great learning experience!

Temps went down finally!! Was 60 while I did chores yesterday morning, it was glorious!!:celebrate

Finally got a new picture of one of our yearling ewe cinnamon. I love her, her conformation may not be perfect but man she holds her weight well, doesn't require much in the way of extras. Will be taking her to the fair in about two weeks, very interested to see what others think of her. I...

I think inspections at some places around here are only 12$ We just had one done at our dealership for free, they sent an offer in the mail, was very happy to see that :celebrate We just sold our mini van an 08, let it go for dirt cheap too. I needed something bigger that can pull the camper so...

Cars can be so expensive :( in our state you have to have your car state inspected every year. If they find something wrong ( muffler, needing new tires, brakes etc) and you don't fix it they won't give you your sticker which means you can't drive it anywhere, so your car has to be in good...

If anyone needs me Ill be hiding inside or in the pool. This heat is insane, 93 degrees in northern(ish) Maine is not typical. The poor sheep don't even bother going in the pasture, they hide in their stalls all day , and I don't blame them. Heres to hoping it cools down the next couple days :fl

All very good points! I would love to find some ewes that are a bit older and have done their time on someones farm. Next time I talk to any breeders I will be sure to let them know I would be willing to take the older ewes. I have a hard time finding what I am looking for without having to...

When looking for good brood ewes, what do you look for. I find it hard to find something that is not someones cull that they are clearly getting rid of because its lacking in so many things. I have a great breeder near me, but since I already have quite a few of their sheep, I would like to...

LOL! Honestly....a young ram...and a 7yr old boy....both of them do nothing but get in to trouble, so putting both of them in a show ring and having them both behave was like winning the lottery :lol:
