There’s a lot to love about Kaldora.

As an F2 ewe, Kaldora is a beautiful example of the quality that can be found within the earlier generations of Valais Blacknose.

She has lovely breed character, beautiful wool, and one of the sweetest temperaments. Kaldora is exceptionally friendly and absolutely adores personal attention. She’s the kind of girl who genuinely wants to be with you, making her incredibly easy—and enjoyable—to spend time with.

What excites us most about Kaldora, though, is the potential she carries. With her breeding and the qualities she already displays, we have incredibly high hopes for what she could contribute to future generations.

She’s also a wonderful reminder that a generation designation only tells part of the story. There is so much more to consider in the individual sheep standing in front of you.

Kaldora is currently available, and we would love to see this special girl become part of a breeding program where all that potential can be carried forward. 🤍

I’m not sure anyone understands how ridiculously excited we are about this. 🙌

Our new Sydell Inc. handling system is finally here, and we are absolutely beside ourselves excited. This is one of those pieces of equipment we’ve dreamed of.

And now it’s HERE. 🥹

Beyond how exciting that is, this is going to make so many of the things we routinely do with our girls safer, smoother, and far less stressful for everyone involved.

It may just look like sheep equipment to some people…but to us, this feels like a pretty special addition to Wolf Mountain Farm. 🐑✨

One *slightly* cleaner WMF F5 Nostalgia after our first session working on cleaning out vegetable matter and mats. (Pictured in yesterdays post) A complete clean out and finish will definitely take multiple days split up into quite a few hours—But the results will be dreamy!

In between the rainstorms, we found a little time to enjoy some quality time with this beautiful girl. She very much needs a bath, but that will have to wait.

These quiet moments in the pasture—the rain-soaked green, those curls, and a sweet face coming over to say hello—that makes all the muddy boots and wet chores worth it.

She sure makes rainy days look beautiful. 🌿🐑

I thought my lamb had died the other day.

But Jesus was merciful.

Because of the hot temperatures, I had planned to feed everyone later in the evening. That was most likely going to mean after dark once again. I had checked cameras earlier in the day, where everyone looked content, and continued on with all the other pressing tasks.

Unexpectedly, some last-minute plans came up, so I decided to stop in the middle of making dinner, take all the kids, and “run down and feed everyone really quick”—one of those times where I think I’ll have a fast, uneventful trip.

Mixed feed. Portioned things out. Saw all the girls and didn’t notice anything off yet.

I split up everyone’s dinner and opened the gate to let everyone eat. Then I started gathering up the lambs to let them into a different area to eat while the adults worked on their bowls.

One, good.

Two… three… four.

Okay, only one more.

Fi…ve.

Five?

No. Only four.

I recounted and made sure I wasn’t just overlooking her.

Nope.

Recounted the adults and started looking to see if I had somehow just missed my girl.

No.

I started frantically counting again, and again, and again—not wanting to believe I was actually missing a lamb.

I’m missing a lamb.

Immediate bits of panic as I went outside to see if she just hadn’t heard me in the barn. I started calling for her.

Nothing.

Next step was to get back in the side-by-side and start driving through the field. I was going quick, but slow at the same time, fully expecting to find a lamb on her own, probably not alive anymore, and praying that wasn’t going to be the case.

Drive and drive, and I couldn’t find her anywhere.

Got out. Walked a bit.

Nothing.

Back to the barn. Got out, went inside, and checked again that I hadn’t somehow just missed her with everyone else.

Still not there.

Checked a bunch of other places.

Still nothing.

I started walking around the barn and in another direction, still hearing absolutely nothing while yelling for her.

I was already praying for her, but finally I specifically said,

“Jesus, please help me find her. I don’t know where she could be!”

I was sick to my stomach.

I stopped walking to try and be still, see if I was missing something, and just look around…

About 30 seconds later, I saw some briars move.

I FOUND HER!

She wasn’t making a sound, but she was struggling as hard as she could to free herself from an extreme tangled mess of briars she had gotten herself into.

I yelled and ran over, but of course, I hadn’t brought gloves with me this time. I went to start grabbing at the briars but couldn’t even figure out where to grab or how to help her. I ran to find something to try to move some of them with, but right as I was on my way back, she ripped herself out of the tangled mess.

I wanted to get ahold of her, but now she was a sharp, spiky mess with thorns everywhere, and I didn’t even know where to put my hands. So she headed toward the barn, and I followed her.

I finally got ahold of her in there. I didn’t want to pull her around trying to find a perfect place for her to stand because she was breathing so hard. So I grabbed the least thorn-filled place I could, thanking Jesus the whole time, and started pulling thorn branches out of her long curls one at a time.

She seems to be doing good today, and I am beyond thankful that I was there in time.

I wouldn’t have seen her at all in the dark.

Needless to say, those other plans didn’t happen by the time that almost-catastrophe was over.

But Jesus was merciful.

A last-minute change in plans put me at the barn hours earlier than I intended to be there. A lamb who wasn’t making a sound happened to move the briars just moments after I stopped and asked Jesus to please help me find her.

And I did.

Sometimes His mercy looks like changed plans, an earlier-than-expected trip to the barn, and briars moving at exactly the right moment.

I’m just so thankful I was there to see her move.

This beautiful girl WMF Novi, she’s such an easy ewe lamb to look at and dream of all the possibilities ahead of her.

Just an absolutely stunning girl, standing in the midst of all the other beautiful girls. The times you get to stand in your barn and observe are *magic*.

Even after weaning, there’s still no better place to be than right next to Momma.

WMF Nightmare’s Finest Hour wasted no time finding her favorite spot again—snuggled up beside WMF Magnolia. Some bonds never change, no matter how big they get.
