Waterloo Ranch

This is Brown Sheep. She was one of my favorites from a past lambing season so I convinced Thomas to keep her. I went to say hi to my goats the other day and she came right up to me and let me give her some scratches. Almost like she knew I needed a little extra love that day.

The funny thing about her name is that she isn’t the only brown sheep that is called Brown Sheep. We have one in each flock. We actually have several others that are brown in color, but we don’t call them Brown Sheep. It really doesn’t make any sense…I guess that’s just how it works out when you don’t give them individual names.

RIP Hunter

We lost one of our livestock guardian dogs. It’s always sad when you lose a life but this one hits differently.

He was born on our ranch. His brother Bear, who we also kept from the litter loved him fiercely. He reminded me of his mama Charlie, loved his people. Just an overall, good-natured dog.

Our neighbor/friend was kind enough to take his body to the vet so we could figure out what happened since we were out of town. He died from dog bloat—medically known as Gastric Dilatation-Volvulus (GDV)—which is a fatal condition where a dog's stomach fills with gas, food, or fluid and then twists upon itself. I’ve known this is a thing but have never experienced it myself. You’d be surprised how much more complicated it can be to feed an LGD vs a house dog.

We are frequently told how lucky we are and how neat it is to be doing what we do, which of course we don’t disagree with but there is the other side that people don’t consider or see. Death is one of those things that is much more commonly dealt with.

We love you Hunter and already miss having your happy, tail-wagging greets at the gate.

Food trailer season is starting to wind down with winter approaching! We may try to do some pop-ups here and there, weather permitting but we will not be out on a regular schedule.

So come see us while you still can!

If you need a meat fix during this time, don’t forget to visit Red Bridge Farm Feed Co. in Kettle or Milk House Market in Colville. You can also order direct and we’ll meet you at an agreed upon drop point.
