Summer is Almost Over

Summer is Almost Over

The Katahdin ewes we had for sale have headed on down the road to their new homes, Chickens are laying huge amounts of eggs averaging small to medium, and Shane's daughter Avery and her family came to visit. Such a great week! Enjoy! Amy

This past week there's been stormy weather that produced tons of fires in the mountains, Garden first harvests/plantings, and some Chicken updates! Enjoy! Amy

Breeding Has Begun…and Pumpkins?

I got up early to beat the heat and sort the sheep for breeding to start! There's a surprise in the barnyard as well as chick updates. Enjoy! Amy

Water, a Necessity of Life

Water, a Necessity of Life

This week was a bit chaotic with losing water and having some hot weather come through. Shane's work schedule changed so now we have to be quiet until about noon, changing some of our routines too. We did squeeze in some time at the river though! Enjoy! Amy
