August News

August has absolutely flown by!  The days are noticeably shorter and the nights are cooler.  Fall isn’t very far away! 

We weaned the May born lambs the first part of August.  We plan to keep most of the ewe lambs as we are still increasing the flock. 

 

There will be a nice selection of ram lambs available for sale that will be big and ready to go to work this fall.

 

 

The January ewe lambs have grown like crazy on pasture this summer. 

 

 

 

Some of the May born ram lambs that we will be offering for sale will be out of the same sire as these January ewe lambs.

 

 

 

We have consigned 5 rams and 10 ewe lambs to the Prairie All Breeds Ram Sale in Moose Jaw, SK on September 8.  See pictures and information on our entries on this page.

We recently had the Shaw ram out for 2 weeks so we will be getting winter lambs between January 5 and 20.  Hope the weather is decent! 

Haying is all done and the bales are all hauled in off the fields.  Our next project is some trenching and running electric wire for new water bowls.  There is no shortage of things to do!

 

 

Just had to put this picture on of our cat in the lamb hay feeder!
