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.

    Well it's been birthing time here.  Last count is 9 kids and 15 lambs.  We will have a few for sale, so anyyone interested in lambs or kids, just send us an email or call.  We do have two bottle babies, one lamb and one kid.  We have just about finished our round pen and herding pens, next we will be working on the sorting and treatment pens.  So it won't be long before we can get back to work on the stockdogs.  We will be attending another stockdog clinic in March and would like to brush up on some of what they are already good at, so we can step on up to the next level to get ready for trialing.  We will be working the Aussies and the Kelpies as well as Rose's Briard.  Of course we are still trying to get all the leaves up and for some reason, the trees are still hanging on to some leaves, so we will be burning a lot longer into the season this year.  Not to mention still trying to get the brush burned from the trees we took down for the new pasture, (sigh), well off to burn, will post some more later.
