Our facebook updates are temporarily on hold!
Ellen was diagnosed with re**al cancer in February and started chemotherapy. She'll be spending more time in this chair resting and less time thinking about posting pictures.
Meanwhile, the lambs keep growing, and the grass will green up soon.

We've been pretty quiet for a few months - three small kids on a farm is no joke. Thanks to friends new and old to help with the kids and in the barn, we're going to get through another winter lambing season. This one with extra cold temperatures.

What's Jeremie doing here? He's moving lambs from one building to another. The idea is that the mothers follow their lambs, even if they're loaded in a wagon. Sometimes it works better than others.

The pregnant sheep moved into an insulated building in December. After their lamb is born, they spend a day or two in a small pen together to bond, then they move into a larger mixing pen for a few days to how to find each other in a small crowd. After that, ewes and their lambs are moved to the larger open shed where they'll stay through the winter.

As the flock grows, so do the farm needs. This summer Jeremie designed and had our new sheep trailer built. Instead of hauling 10 lambs at a time, we can now haul 50 lambs.

Warm and cozy just in time for the snow.
We waited a long time for these sheepskins. First, we waited for lambs to grow. Then, the hides waited for us to prepare them. Finally, we waited for Driftless Tannery to work their magic. It was all worth it!
We currently have one brown sheepskin and three white sheepskins available for sale. Contact us for details.

Today we're preparing an order to deliver to Staple & Fancy tomorrow. We can't wait to see what other local products Mineral Point's new grocery store is selling.

We now have raptor perches on the farm! Last week this team of volunteers came out to install four perches in the pastures. We're keeping an eye out for any activity.

It's a girl! We've been absent from FB for a month. It's been hectic since our daughter was born, and we're starting to get back into the swing of things.
