They are beautiful.

That is a beautiful girl. Enjoy what she has to offer.

I just realized that I have mentioned Dr. Boyd a couple of times not thinking that many would have no idea who he was. DR Boyd was a veterinarian that started trying to breed an improved Katahdin line not long after the Katahdins first became available. His sheep have a pedigree that is about...

Teresa finished working the fecals that we pulled yesterday and we are both pleased with the results. One of our 5 year old ewes is borderline for worming but since she just had twins, that isn't unusual at our place. This will be the first time she has needed wormer in 2 1/2 years. The other...

We brought in half of the ewes to check them out this afternoon and the nice weather made it a pleasure. We pulled a few fecals to check out a couple of the ewes but overall, they really look well. There was 13 sheep in this bunch and several of them were 180 pounds plus on the scale. We got...

I can't believe how fast they are growing, But then, time is almost irrelevant anymore, :)

We finally brought in a couple of large round bales. We are in our early rainy season so I have more days that I can't cut than days that I can so the $ math says it's better to buy hay rather than give extra feed.

And to you Jan. It is getting close to the end of the year and I like to reflect on things that have really added to our lives. We have met some super folks from BYH but 2023 added @farmerjan to our list of true friends. I knew from all of our postings that you were true to who you were and...

Happy to see you have power now. Merry Christmas to you and pleasant thoughts for the New Year.

I'll echo that. A Merry Christmas to you and your family.

Merry Christmas!!

That wasn't the first time I have gotten him and I doubt it will be the last but we work it out most of the time. He was frustrated because I was out there to put feed out and he wasn't happy that I wasn't getting it out fast enough. :)

It's in the mid 60's here today but it doesn't look like we have a chance of more rain until tomorrow evening but that's OK since I can't cut grass for the sheep when it's real wet. Teresa and I went to our Hispanic run Asian restaurant and it was very good (as always). Being about the only...

I need to hear how you came up with that name. Congratulations on the lambs.

We are having our typical December weather where it goes from spring to winter and back to fall all in a couple of weeks. We have been getting down to the 20's so I have been keeping my water jugs in the barn so I can take enough out in the mornings to melt down the frozen troughs, but it is...

We eat our biggest meal midday so she had already stopped to eat earlier. I do have a casserole made with ground beef, several different vegetables and turnips if Teresa wants some of that.

We finally started having lambs this morning while I was down with the sheep but this was a first for me. We lamb out in the pastures and that normally means the ewes will go off by themselves to give birth. The lambs are usually fairly easy to catch to check them over but they are...

We had just enough rain for most of the day that the tall grass was too wet to cut for the sheep. There was more than enough re-growth in the areas that I had already cut to give the sheep plenty of grass today. Teresa spent the last day with her son's family near Charleston and left there to...

They had spiral hams on sale also but we have a lot in the freezer already.

I needed to make a run to the recycle center so I went ahead and ran into town since I was already half way there. Kroger had prime rib roasts on sale for $5.95 a pound so I picked up two of the roasts and turned them into steaks.
