Sunday, March 13th James & the kids weighed and tagged all of our sheep. Jay Mariachere came by to shear last night. We even sheared the ram lamb born late January 2011 (45 pounds 3/13)! He's going to be an excellent fiber producer, if I don't earmark him for the freezer. Total count for 2011 lambs is: 1 black/silver ram lamb, 1 black ewe lamb, 1 white ewe lamb. Jay told me that #13 Cotswold has quads in her & that I should expect them, and many others, in the next 2+ weeks! This has put off my period designated for selling parts of the flock by a few weeks. Can't wait for the snow to melt so I can start planning this years garden! Chix are starting to produce eggs again, they must like the time change. New pic of baby (Duchess-Missouri Fox Trotter) below and her friend (Mick-Percheron) will be arriving in a few weeks.
