Ash Grove Farm: Grass-fed Navajo-Churro and Shetland sheep yield beautiful lambs, yarn, and wool for If we can do it, so can you!

On two-thirds of an acre in Village Center zoning, we raise 95% of the vegetables we consume and quite a lot of fruit, starch, and protein we need. Chickens and turkeys range freely through rotating pastures. The sheep spend the winter (including lambing season) at home, with access to a barn and large barnyard. April through November, they mow neighbors' lawns while the barnyard at home grows fee

ds, seeds, mushrooms, vegetables, and forage for human and animal consumption alike. All waste is composted on-site, creating a natural loop of fertility.

This lamb's inexperienced mama didn't know what to do with her newborn, so it took another species (well, two actually) to step in and do the job. Later, when the lamb was clean, warm, and dry, her mom took her back and let her nurse, despite the lamb smelling oddly doggish.

An August surprise! Welcome to the world, little Libra! (No, she's not a Libra, but this year's naming theme was Space....)

Something I've learned this year: Raising sheep during a pandemic is pretty much the same as raising sheep any old time. They need to eat, they need fresh grass, I can still walk to the pastures, and my day-to-day shepherding life isn't much different. The hardest thing is not being able to interact with the landowners who welcome the sheep to mow their fields, except at a distance.

Five new lambs within 36 hours! Naturally, on the weekend of the NOFA conference. Hats off to substitute shepherd, Reed, for keeping an eye on them! (No trouble, thankfully!)

"Look, Mom! I'm herding!"

Welley and the Cone of Honor: Two hens wouldn't go to bed last night. I asked Welley to herd them to me so I could put them in. Suddenly, the rooster woke up, came flying out of the coop like a banshee, and attacked Welley viciously. Welley got a beak in the eye. The vet says he'll be okay. He won't lose his vision. This was a close call! Farming is dangerous, and not only for the human farmers. As for the rooster, he didn't fare too well, either. We're having him for supper tonight....

Scary time! I never know if walking up the road to the next pasture with no fences to contain the sheep will go well or not. This particular time, things did not go well. Welley, the herding dog, did great at first, but the sheep did not cooperate! Instead of staying with me, close to the source of yummy treats I had for them, they surged ahead and had to be brought back by the dog. Finally, they couldn't stand the pressure any longer and they took off for a neighbor's back yard. Meanwhile, the young herding dog lost his head and decided to play billiards with the sheep. (Look, Mom! I can make them EXPLODE! Whee!) In the end, the sheep ended up in their new paddock, safe and sound, but it took some work. More of the same tomorrow. I have no idea how it'll go....
