one more lamb and more rain

We had one of our yearling ewes give birth on Sunday. A single ewe-lamb. Good looking - great coloring and pattern. Should have a pic shortly.

And we had more rain. Just as it was getting started on drying, it started raining again. And the forecast is for heavy rain next week. Enough already.

This past weekend was the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival. THE event of the year for Mindy. Unfortunately, she had to miss the entire weekend cause she was recovering from a flu/virus. On the plus side, the fleece she entered took 4th place in the Double-Coated division. I took the girls to the festival on Sunday. They had a good time. We looked over some different sheep breeds, some fleeces and sheep equipment.


Nothing builds healthy, strong kids like 50lb bags of pig feed!
