I can't believe that it has been the whole winter since I have last blogged. Part of that is that during winter there is only so many ways to say we did chores in the snow today, and part of the reason is that I was personally busy over the winter having reconciled with my husband after 14 years.
But now spring is working on arriving and things have been gearing up on the ranch for the past couple months - so it is time to update!
Over the past couple months we have had 25 lambs. Normally we would get a couple a week just from the way we breed. This year was a little different, we would have a bunch and then nothing for two weeks and then another bunch. In one week we had 12 lambs born - probably a record for us.
We have over a hundred chicks arriving in early April for our meat chick order. This year we are doing something different for our chick coop - we have purchased a travel trailer and we are renovating it to use as the chick coop. We'll be posting pictures as work progresses on it.
In April we have some sheep arriving that I've purchased from Alberta - some for the pet food order and some for breeding.
In May the Llamas are due and the local Farmers Market starts.
I can hardly wait to get back to it!!
