So today is a sad day. Last year on this day I got a call from my dad that the ewes were acting weird. He told me someone hadn't locked the stall and they had gorged on cracked corn. I quickly made three bloat remedies and rushed to the barn. When I arrived Rosie and clover were waiting at the gate but Lily was nowhere to be found. I found her on the side of the pen laying down, ears droopy. In my mind I wanted to believe she would make it, but I knew it was already too late. I fought for a half hour, but she passed with her head in my lap. She was the first lamb ever born on our farm and she will always hold a special place in my heart. R.I.P Lily I know you are happy with your momma and son.

I am so sorry about Lily. I know you did your best and sometimes our best just isn't good enough. :hugs You take good care of your sheep, I hate that this happened.

You are posting such awesome pictures of your farm and animals. What a paradise! Your animals are healthy, well cared for and look very happy to me.

I am so impressed with your learning to spin! That is awesome and you will soon be dazzling us with your knitted creations.

I can't imagine you being cranky, you are a fine young person and I would be more than proud to claim you as my own! You stay on track and reach for your dreams.

Been a while since I posted, with Christmas break coming up, teachers love to pile on the homework. Between 3 exams and beggining a research paper, I am exhaugsted.

All the animals are good, haven't lost anymore chickens. The girls are looking so good. Steady weights, and healthy girls make me confident for this lambing season. I believe I felt clover's baby tonight, so I was thrilled about that. Rosie is getting big! She carries very low, so it looks like she has more than she does. I hope she has twins, and definitly at least one girl.

Heres a few pictures, kinda crappy..but its what I can manage as it gets dark so early

Merry Christmas and I hope you get to spend lots of free time with your critters. Hope Santa gets you something nice as well. I'm sure you'll get the school work under control.

Im so happy Christmas is finally here! Today my dad sent me a text that he was at the Alpaca farm where we got Onyx and Al. And he sent me a picture of a juevenile Alpaca who looked awfully familiar. Meet Navejo, Onyx's son. Turns out before we bought our boys she bred Onyx! He is staying at the farm he was born at, but I think its so neat to see the offspring of one of our boys!

Clearly the son would like to live with his father, tell them to put Navejo in your Dad's car :D
