catch up with all thats going on here

Hey! it worked, the first blog I mean, so now I will try to catch you up with what has been going on here.

Starting in July we went for a road trip to New York State and bought a new pure white Ram from Anchorage Farm and we also went to a sheep sale and bought a new ewe lamb ( both Romneys) for Little Hooves Farm, we had the longest drive home, we tried to do it without stopping but we both gave up around 3 and stopped for an hours nap, we got home safe and after there 3wk quarantine they have entered the flock and are a friendly pair.


August 2nd we put our Rambouillet and one of our Tunis ewes with our colored Romney Ram (Silver)

September 24th we split all ewes into their breeding groups, 6 groups in total which is quite a task as the rams can see each other and keeping them to their own group was difficult and twice Harry decided he wanted to be with Yorkie's girls.

October 2nd we went to the UW Badger Sale and bought 2 Rambouillet ewe lambs, we put them in to quarantine but it only lasted a day and they jumped through a fence then an electric fence and joined Yorkie and his girls, they are still in that group they have calmed down a lot but they are like a pair of siemise twins they are never apart.

October 7th we bought a Tunis ram lamb and he is enjoying himself with our ewe lambs and Rusty who is a Tunis ewe.

October 10th we had 30 day old chicks delivered, they are red Star hens, we have some hens but they are now getting old and the few we have raised with the hens are not enough. We also are going to put these girls to work, we found that our Rams had less internal parasites this year and the only difference is that the hens have been able to get into there paddock. So we are going to make a chicken coup on wheels so we can pull it behind the ATV and the hens will follow the sheep around the paddocks, hopefully it will help reduce there internal parasite too.
