Wolfemomma - Our Homestead Journey

[WolfeMomma]

well we all arrived at the fair ok, got the sheep comfy, and the camper set up. Seems to be some pretty good Katahdin competition. I cant wait to see how our ram does, I think him and the ewe lamb have the highest chances of placing but we shall see.
my one yearling ewe that I thought was kind of chunky....yeah no she is FAT compared to the other ewes. Some one is going on a diet , that i am sure of now lol
The kids love being there, seeing all the animals, meeting new friends that are in to the same thing. I love that I am able to let them grow up this way.

You are giving your children a precious gift, one that they will treasure all their lives. Other children should be so fortunate to have parents like y’all.

NAILE (North American International Livestock Expo) occurs yearly in Nov. The location is always Louisville, KY. It’s 2.5 weeks of the best Livestock from around the world. Definitely something to see! It’s only an hour from us if anyone ever needs some insight into the area. We can also try to meet you there for a visit. We usually go the weekend of the Rodeo for the cattle shows. DD1 hopes to show cattle and goats there soon.

Yay finally back from the fair.
Its been a long tiring 7 days. But everything went well, the sheep did great and so did the humans
Our ram valor placed 2nd which we are VERY pleased with as the ram that placed 1st was a huge january lamb that was very well built, and big, valor held his own which I am pleased with. He is looking more and more like his sire I hope he keeps heading that direction. Our large yearling white ewe took 3rd , and the red ewe took 6th which didnt surprise me as she is a big short and not really built for the show ring. The Ewe lamb was placed second but was switched the last minute and took 3rd. Im still not sure why , I have a feeling its because she is a march ewe lamb so she is a bit smaller then her competition. Her side profile is beautiful , if she can grow a bit and thicken up in her yearling year I think she will do well.All in all it was a great experience , and a fun time over all!
