The Bane of Summer Heat Waves

The Bane of Summer Heat Waves

Sorry this blog is so late in the day. Normally I try to do these in the morning but we hauled hay! Then we had babies! Then I bathed! Cuz no one wants to be in the same room as me after all that haha. Enjoy the new baby pics! Amy

Titus, All-Father of Summer Lambs

Titus, All-Father of Summer Lambs

I was lucky enough to struggle with a stomach bug last week and didn't get much anything done or go anywhere. Fortunately the 2-3 days I wasn't too bad off were the days I had things planned. It was my birthday on Friday and there were babies born though! Enjoy! Amy

One More Set of Lambs & Cold Weather

This past week saw temps only getting into the 30's for highs and lows down into the upper teens. Unusually cold for us here in NW Oregon.

Slow Baby Week but a Creep Pen Built!

The past week was a little slow on the baby lambs happening but we had 3 ewes lamb the same day all within an hour and a half! That was exciting to watch!

Such A Busy Week It’s Been!

We have had several lambs born starting the evening of my last blog post! It's been so difficult to wait a week to post the baby pictures, but it's finally time!
