Promise Acre: Our Journey

[promiseacres]

Congrats on all the new additions to your herd! How many total for this year?

8 lambs out of 4 ewes in 7 days, 2 rams and 6 ewes
Puts us at 19 sheep at the moment

Aww, neat! You got a good ewe/ram ratio too!

Yesterday had a short visit and picked up hatching eggs from Pearce Pastures. set them plus 6 of our own. Will replace some older laying hens then sell the rest.
Lambs are all doing well even the two on the bottle, thanks to knowledgeable people on here. Hard to believe 3 feedings a day is best. The yearling ewe that didn't settle with the older ewes jumped thru the fence back into the ewes' pen... but she had 3 more weeks with the ram so hopefully will get 1 more lamb late this summer.
This evening we go to pick up our new pup! Not sure I am ready for training a pup but will be good to have a dog around. She's 3/4 aussie and 1/4 lab.

Debating on names, but our new pup.

Cute! I love her coloring! Reminds me of a Bernese Mountain Dogs' coloring! Congrats!

 

[Hens and Roos]

What a cutie! Love the brown dots above her eyes.

She's super cute! I'm sure she'll turn to a beautiful young Lassie when she gets older But I don't miss training pups. Lol.

She does look like a Bernese.. Love the eyebrows.

Congratulations! The lambs look great, great ratio and lots of ewes! I am so happy for you (and a little jealous)!

Cannot complain on the ratio... though means less for the freezer. Can't get it to be right side up but here is Maizy meeting Ruby & Garnet.
