New Life at the Farm

Audrey had three beautiful white lambs for us this morning. They will be registered Finn, and all are nursing and standing well. This is such a relief after all the losses we have had, it is uplifting and brings joy.

The cold winds continue. Blustery days, windy days so bad I don't even want to let out the animals. So I feed them, and they poop more, more stall cleanup. I really need help getting this all done. Our Manure piles are huge, as I never had it picked up last November. I wanted to plant the garden this year where the manure pile is, so I can look at it on my way to the sheep areas.

Finnegan is doing OK, without Charlie Brown. He has

a tepid relationship with Jersey Mike, and allows him into his stall domain for hay.

Jersey Mike, AKA The Cow, is getting very big. He is playful, but his head is so big I have to watch out when I give him grain. He is too affectionate, and loves to get his jaw rubbed.

Chickens are laying well. They attacked one white hen, so she is separated. This is the second time that poor chicken has been attacked, so I won't put her back in the flock this time.

Rabbits love their piece of carrot each day. You think they don't have a brain, but they look for the carrot whenever I visit, and gobble it down.

Back to lambs, we have the heat lamp on, and all is quiet in the sheep barn.
