Breeding season has officially started on our little farm and you could say we have sheep spread all over the state. This morning we separated our Natural Colored and White Romney ewes,and put a blanket back on Bitsy who seems to be a regular Houdini when it comes to wearing a blanket this year. Open class went home from State Fair and 4-H went in. Dolly and Eleanor went to a friends farm to be bred to different rams, later we will be taking some more ewes over to their place. We also brought home a new natural colored Romney ram named Alex who was introduced to the girls tonight. Bridget who is new to breeding season being a first timer, thought it was a game when he was chasing her around the field and bunny hopped away from him. We are starting to feel the change in the season now leaves are starting to change and the mornings are crisp and cloudy. Once state fair is over school will start and our preparations for OFFF will also begin.
Dolly getting shorn she was one of the public's favorites to look at.
