A little food for thought
Sheep Management: The Deadly Barber Pole Worm - Cornell Small Farms

When I sell breeding livestock – ewe and ram lambs alike – I now add the following sentence to the sale’s agreement: Seller advises STRONGLY against using

All Lambs and yearlings have been sold (except Abby) and are off to new homes. It's a little sad seeing them leave after fussing over them for the last 4 months, but I feel good about the home(s) they went to. Each went to a family with kids; I hope they live long, happy lives 💞
Thank you to those who gave these beautiful sheep a new home!
Keep me in the loop if you breed; it might be me knocking on your door for lambs next time 😍

have 4 beautiful lambs looking for greener pastures. Previous people had to back out, no fault of ours or the lambs; the individuals just had to put important life things before more animals this year, which I can appreciate and understand.
So Greta, Mousse, Ivy, and Crystal, our 4 biggest lambs, are ready to go any day. 200.00 per lamb. If you come get them today, you don't have to put a deposit down; otherwise, it's $50.00 per lamb to hold them
We will hold for 2 weeks unless something else is agreed upon
Reminder: I have a non-refundable deposit policy if you cancel short notice (I will not refund money if you cancel on a Wednesday and pick up day is Friday because we rearrange our life for you)
We are always willing to work with you on the pickup date as long as you communicate 😁
There is a 90% chance that 2027 will be my last year selling lambs, so scoop them up while you can!

We have made the difficult decision to rehome a selection of our ewes and yearlings. This was not an easy choice, as we value each animal. However, we are committed to ensuring they find suitable and responsible new homes, not merely any available farm.

To facilitate this, we will be implementing a thorough vetting process, which will include:

* A series of pertinent questions.
* A requirement for mutual trust.
* Potential conditions for placement.

Each animal's individual profile, including relevant information, will accompany their respective photograph.

We have made a very difficult decision. It's been a tough year; lambing took everything out of me, and I get so attached so when things don't go right it breaks my heart.
With my upcoming knee surgery and John's shoulder growing more painful every day, we have made the hard decision to downsize. I hate to part with these beautiful girls, but I have to downsize for now.
I will be extremely picky where they go.
I will post pictures and a background on each girl later today.

Our lambs are thriving and will soon be ready for their new homes! They'll be receiving their first CD&T vaccine this Sunday, with the second dose following in four weeks. Each lamb is priced at a firm $200. We kindly ask that you respect our policy of not selling them for food. Lambs will be available for pickup after July 18th. To reserve your lamb, a $100 deposit per lamb is required; please note this deposit is non-refundable if you cancel within one week of the agreed pickup date. Priority pick goes to our returning customers! 🐑🏡

Memorial Day
It’s not about the barbecue. It’s not even about the beach or the beer or just another Monday off. Memorial Day is about those who paid the price for our freedom, those precious men and women who served and sacrificed. It is a day to reflect on the ultimate cost of everything that is America. From the first to fall in the making of this great nation (even before the Revolutionary War) and every loss of life since, the price of our freedom has been bought with the blood of those fearless souls who cared more about the future of this great nation than their own lives. They thought about the generations that would come after them and loved those of us that they would never meet enough to leave their loved ones as widows and orphans.

A decision has been made to sell all lambs this year except our Abby the bottle lamb.
