Today I managed to walk the pasture and take some pictures of our ever-expanding flock. Our commercial flock is up to almost 80 ewes and we purchased 11 registered Katahdin ewes and 11 registered Katahdin lambs this summer. We\u2019ve sold out of freezer lambs this season, sold quite a few ram lambs for breeding, and our sales to the Islamic community increased this year.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve decided to hold back all of our ewes as we\u2019ve been able to plant all of our acres to pasture and put up more fence. We\u2019ll likely be lambing early in 2016 or maybe even late this fall, as a few ram lambs got in with the flock due to a fence failure. Hopefully we\u2019ve solved that problem for next year!<\/p>\n

If not, we\u2019re sure the goats will find the holes\u2026 again. We\u2019ve nicknamed our three female goats the goat patrol because it looks like they are always on the look out for weaknesses in the fence. We sold two goats this year, one female and one buck. Hopefully the buck serviced the three remaining ladies so we\u2019ll have plenty of milk for any orphaned lambs. If so, we\u2019ll likely have a few Alpine\/Sannen crosses for sale again next year.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"goat

And, the goat patrol!<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"commercial

The commercial and registered flocks graze in the same field, but don\u2019t mingle much. Commercial flock has more color and is in the foreground. Registered flock is in the back ground and is mostly white. We\u2019ve nicknamed them the star belly sneetches ; )<\/p><\/div>

\"registered

Four registered ram lambs and one ewe. We\u2019ll be keeping the best out of these four for breeding next year.<\/p><\/div>

\"registered

Nice looking five-month old registered ram lambs.<\/p><\/div>

\"registered

Love this boy\u2019s pink nose!<\/p><\/div>

\"pasture

Some enjoy shade, some enjoy sun, on this warm and beautiful first day of fall.<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
