I share a lot about the sheep during lambing season, when there are babies everywhere and plenty to talk about.
The rest of the year?
They are relatively low maintenance.
Which is probably why you don’t see them around here quite as much. Unless they are “free ranging” AKA out😅
As many of you know, our flock is made up of Katahdin sheep that we raise primarily for meat. We love them because they are so well suited to life on pasture. Their low inputs and relatively low need for care and maintenance are part of what makes raising lamb this way sustainable and efficient.
Our lambs are grown on their mothers’ milk, grass and sunshine alone.
We are heading into harvest season now, so these girls and boys will soon be moving into a different part of the farm story.
But for now, they’re doing what they do best: eating, sleeping, playing and grazing.
And catching them in the early morning as the sun comes up, or in the evening when the light starts to settle across the pasture, is one of my favorite things.
There is something about sheep in that light that gets me every time.
So here they are. A little glimpse of the flock in their everyday life.
*bonus points if you can name the ewe in the video clip in the last slide. Leave a comment to mark yourself as an OG when it comes to the herd.
