Old Macomber's Farm & Homestead

10/18/2026

With last night’s unexpected freeze warning, and another one tonight, I had to take some time on the Lord’s day to winterize the chicken tractor. Pretty sure he’s ok with it, cause if His eye is on the sparrow, it’s on the chickens too.

The last of our lambs - 3 ewes and a ram - are in the front pasture, and Oscar has been reunited with his ladies.

Six of our ram lambs headed off to the New Holland Livestock auctions in PA this morning. In a couple of weeks we’ll pull our ewe lambs from the flock, and put Oscar back with his ladies. Then our ewe lambs will head off to auction.

The sheep are WAILING this evening. We took the opportunity to separate the sheep and wean as part of the shearing process. The ram lambs in the front pasture are crying for their mommas. The mommas in the side pasture are crying for their lambs. And Oscar is in the front pasture crying because he's been separated from his ladies and is stuck with the whiney boys!
