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!

I really did intend to write this on Monday but was busy cleaning our mud room for the delivery of a new top load washing machine.

I've been sitting down talking with my mother (the boss behind the scenes) and my boyfriend (the feeder of the sheep while my shoulder is still out of commission) about what we should do with the sheep.
