Well winter is officially over!  This is the first time that I can remember having trees already leafing out before the first official day of Spring was even here. 
     We have cleared a few more acres of trees and am in the process of cleaning all that up mess, cutting piling and burning.
     Now on top of that, just talked to the county extension agent and I probably need to get as many leaves off of that back field as possible before I plant  the lespedezia.  So I guess brush burining will be put on the back burner.
   
    On another note, we have a pasture full of really nice lambs this year!   Thanks Jan, for selling that wonderful young ram "Cracker" to the farm.  He deffinitely has done his job.  You can tell his lambs, he really put his stamp on them, they have wonderful tight wool and long legs, we will deffinitely have some size back into the flock.  I will put some pictures of them on here.

   The fainting goats had mostly girls this year, which is nice for a change!

   Well break time is over, time to go blow leaves, but will post some photos on here later this evening.

   Everybody Have a Great Day!

It has been a busy summer.  We have had some more trees cleared to put in more pasture.  Now we are doing the cleanup, always fun hehe.  Lots of cutting and delimbing the downed trees and then pileing up and getting it ready to burn come Oct.  Fortunately we have a friend that has a commercial grade chipper and he has brought it over a few times and hopefully we will be able to do some more chipping soon.  Just that much less that we will have to burn.                                                        Now it's time to start seeding again.  We will be adding asome more Max Q fescue to fill in the areas that are thin or died in the drought.  Plus we will be planting either red clover or ball clover in the newly cleared area and then in the early spring we will  be planting Serecea Lespedeza back there as well.  I have been doing a lot of research on planting for year round grazing and we are slowly getting there.   I am currently breeding 1 of my Australian Shepherds so if anyone is interested in a good working bred Aussie out of working parents please feel free to contact me.  There will only be a few available as some are already spoken for with deposits.  There is a possiblity that some of these might go into Search and Rescue training as well.  I will let you know what is avaiable after the pups are born.  I do not breed very often, so if you are considering one you need to let me know, don't assume that you can get one out of the next litter, because it may be a while before I breed again.                           We still have 2 rams available for sale if anyone is interested.  Well chores are a waiting so off to work I go.  Have a Great Day!

Hey everybody!  Wow time has really flown by, didn't realize that it had been so long since my last post.  Sorry about that.  Well if any one out there is looking for a nice ram, we have several for sale.  I will probably put the pics on another page.  We have several of this years ram lambs, but we also have a yearling, a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old.  If you are interested in beautiful strong horns with good base diameter, we have some for you.  Be sure to take a look.  These rams are reasonably priced.                                                                                                                 Well our pastures were looking pretty good, but we are watching them slowly burn up in the heat with no rain.  So for any of you locals that go by don't be surprised if you see all of us out there trying to do a rain dance!  Hehehe!  I'm sure everyone else is praying for rain too.

Well I don't know aobut you, but I'm about over winter.  The sheep don't seem to mind, but the goats agree with us and I feel pretty sure that the dogs and horses are ready to walk on something besides ice.  I have taken some pretty 'cool' (cold) pictures and will be downloading some later this afternoon.
