Spring Preparations

We have all our baby lambs on the ground and thriving, our baby calves are all healthy and happy, and now it’s time to garden.

We plan to save all our Finn ewes, but will have a few registered Finn rams for sale. We are trying to build our flock and will cross our ewe lambs with a Texel/Dorset ram for market lambs in the future.

We are slowing growing a registered White Dexter herd with this little beauty.

And our cutest disappointment! He is half miniature (Sure Shot Otis), half standard Jersey. Both parents are A2/A2 and sire is Homozygous Polled. We plan to sell him since we cannot use him for breeding since he is related to both our Jerseys.

So far he is much smaller (and older) than our other miniature calves.

We are swimming in milk, 10 gallons a day. We are supply milk to feed 11 Savanna bottle goats at mom & dads, helping a few lambs here, and raising a bottle calf we purchased from a friend.

I have also done some winter canning. I love canning winter fruit, meat, and stocks while the added heat to the house is appreciated.

A much needed Girls Day Out! A little shopping, arcade, and ice cream after a long season of being homebound waiting for babies to be born.

Soil blocks are almost ready for planting.

I did asparagus, vinca, and onions. I will never go back to pots. This worked so well!

Happy gardening!
