Ewe Valley Farms

Ewe Valley Farms Founded in 2024 by the Princehouse Family, Ewe Valley Farms is home to a growing flock of Southdown sheep alongside our commercial show lambs.

We focus on raising healthy show lambs while building a farm that’s all about family!

πŸ‘πŸ’™ Best friends come in all shapes and sizes. πŸ₯Ή
Noah and Betty have a pretty special bond, and this sweet boy never misses a chance to give his best friend a hug. ❀️

The way he loves β€œhis” sheep just melts this mama’s heart. πŸ₯°πŸ‘

πŸ‘β€οΈ And just like that… breeding season is ON!
Last week we pulled the last CIDRs, gave the last PG 600 injections, and turned our final group of ewe lambs out with the rams! πŸ‘

But what do all those letters and injections mean? πŸ‘€

CIDRs help start and synchronize the girls’ heat cycles. Using them helps us get a group of girls cycling and breeding around the same time, which makes lambing season a whole lot easier to plan! πŸ‘πŸΌ

Now the rams have one job… GET TO WORK! πŸ˜‚πŸπŸ’¨
Let the countdown to February lambing! ❀️

πŸš¨πŸ‘ CUTENESS ALERT! 🚨

That little tail wiggle while nursing… πŸ₯ΉπŸ’•πŸ‘

I mean, COME ON! 😍

The sweetest little sign that baby is getting a good belly full! πŸΌπŸ‘β€οΈ

We could watch this all day! 😭

πŸ‘πŸ’š 1…2…3… DONE!

We wish every chore with sheep was this easy! πŸ˜‚
Halter Nelson βœ”οΈ
Give him some corn βœ”οΈπŸŒ½
Change the chalk βœ”οΈ
And we’re DONE! πŸ™Œ

We change chalk colors every ~17 days to help us track breeding cycles and see if a ewe comes back into heat.

Green is Nelson’s color right now! πŸ’šπŸ‘
Good boy, Nelson! You make our job easy! πŸ˜‚

πŸ‘πŸ₯ And now for the results…! πŸ₯πŸ‘

Well, nobody picked the right ewe! πŸ˜‚

#4 Sassy took the lead and lambed first with a single ram lamb! πŸ’™πŸ Then, less than 6 hours later, #5 Gail decided to go BIG… with QUADS! πŸ˜³πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘

It was a busy few hours and a very short night, but we were able to save 3 of her 4 babies! ❀️ Both 1st time mamas are doing great!

Fall lambing is under way! Watch for more cuteness coming soon!

πŸ‘β˜€οΈ Southdown Sunday: Sun β˜€οΈπŸ‘

Meet Sun, twin sister to Star! Born January 13 and sired by Brick Howse, Sun is our easygoing, laid-back girl, just like her mama. πŸ’›

She may be a little more chill than her sister, but she can still hold her own! At the 2026 Tama County Fair, Sun was named Reserve Champion Purebred Ewe Lamb! πŸ†β˜€οΈ

Sweet, calm, and pretty specialβ€”we're excited to see what the bright future holds for this girl! πŸ‘πŸ’›

πŸπŸ‘ THE RACE IS ON! πŸ‘πŸ

Nothing gets the girls moving quite like a fresh VitaLix mineral tub! πŸ˜‚

With lambing right around the corner and breeding season here, keeping free-choice minerals available is especially important. Minerals help support overall health, reproduction, and the increased nutritional needs of our ewes and their growing lambs. πŸ‘πŸΌβ€οΈ

And apparently… nobody told the girls they have to take turns! πŸ˜‚

πŸ‘πŸΌ The lambing pack outs are READY! πŸŽ’

We’re getting SO close to lambing, and that means it’s time to make sure we have everything we might need!

But now we want to know… πŸ‘€

What’s ONE thing you never want to be caught without during lambing season?! πŸ‘πŸ‘‡

πŸ‘πŸ—³οΈ LET’S VOTE! πŸ—³οΈπŸ‘

⏰ Who do you think WAS the FIRST ewe to lamb in this group? πŸ‘€

We have predicted lambing dates based on when each ewe was marked by the ram, but we all know sheep don’t always read the calendar! πŸ˜‚ With a typical gestation of around 145 days, we’re getting VERY close!

The girls are numbered 1️⃣–6️⃣ β€” so put your best guess to the test!

πŸ‘‡ COMMENT THE NUMBER OF THE EWE YOU THINK LAMBED FIRST! πŸ‘‡

Let’s see who can pick the winner! πŸ‘πŸ†

πŸ‘πŸ“Ή One of the things we LOVE about our barn cameras!

We are getting SO close to lambing season, and these cameras have become one of our favorite tools around the farm! ❀️

We can check on the girls anytimeβ€”while we’re at work, before bed, or even in the middle of the nightβ€”without having to make a trip out to the barn. πŸ‘€πŸ‘

Of course, nothing replaces actually checking on our girls, especially when lambing starts, but having a set of extra eyes watching 24/7 gives us a little extra peace of mind!

The countdown to lambing is ON! πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ’•
