In 2022 we put in these double gates in the hopes that one day we'd open up our entry. Today's the day for us and we are opening up our gates for greater things.

It's always amazing to have good neighbors. The tractor needed some wheels replaced and the cherry picker just couldn't do it. Dan and Laurie came to the rescue with their tractor!!

SHAPE came to the farm today! Who?

This is a new national effort, with USDA partnership, called Probing Our Country’s Soil Health is focused on creating a
free and user-friendly tool for farmers to benchmark the soil health of their fields.
The tool is called Soil Health Assessment Protocol and Evaluation (or SHAPE). The tool
will also provide insights of management practices that may improve crop yields when
enhancing soil health.

We're excited to find out how our two fields will test!

Pulled the lambs and ewes off the pasture. The ewes are disappointed we pulled the lambs off at 130 days. They were full of complaints! Kira and Aten worked hard to keep everyone calm.

This year we've been very lucky, haven't had to deworm a single animal. After the previous harrowing year, I'm delighted we have been able to select down to the prime genetics. One ewe, 1136, took another lamb and raised triplets.

Once everyone is weaned the ewe lambs will go back to the ewes and we'll comb over the ram lambs.

The grass is still coming on and the ladies are doing their best to take it down.

You can see the lambs are getting to be half the size of their mother! Next month, if all goes well, we'll start weaning.

We've run into the classic triangle of time, money, and effort on building the shed. So instead of building the shed, we will put up a temporary agricultural tent. Temporary. . . 😅😂🤣 We'll see how temporary it is!

Neil had to do some abracadabra in order to levitate the box out of the FedEx. A very sceptical FedEx man watched as Neil stacked some pallets and finagled the box out of the FedEx truck.

Goats are kidding! No joke 🤣

Really enjoying seeing what colors pop out. Buck is a SavannahxKiko so we were expecting more white but the Oreo cookie had other ideas.

Revenge of the hedgerow, take 2!

This year we're once again putting in a hedgerow:
- replanting what the sheep destroyed
- w**d eating
- planting in new stock
- installing drip tape
- laying down cardboard protectors

Still need to put in a tougher fence as the sheep broke in...again. 😅

Sheep escape! I can't overstate how much our border collies do around here. What would've been a hike and workout turned into a 2 minute wait while Kira made sure to pick up every errant miscreant.

It ain't the bluegrass but it's what keeps the farm running.

Rotational grazing is in full swing now! Ladies started into their new paddock with lambs at their sides.
