As planned, we sent our wethers down the road, to fulfill their purpose, as good food for our family. We perceive their absence, observe a hint of melancholy, and thankfulness for the blessing that they took part in. Respectfully, this is the homesteading lifestyle that we live, and work hard for. I really enjoy working with lambs; I do make memories with them, remember individuals, and miss them when they have to go. It's our reminder: Come time (every year), this is a reality of self-reliance. It is applicable to all of our livestock here.
In the same week, a splendid opportunity presented itself. The good lady we got this year's stock from, was down-sizing in the sheep business, and we invested into two more of her ewes. We anticipate breeding this Fall for meat stock, and we are also looking to incorporate two dairy ewes into our flock as well. We are proceeding into new territory, and are achieving our objectives very quickly.
Yesterday, was the beginning of a new chapter, and will improve our current level of experience.
