Spring Lambs Are Here!

This Spring we are going with a mix of mostly "hair" sheep. These girls, aptly named "Mocha, Cappucino, and Latte" by our neighbor, are a mix of Blackbelly (Barbados), Dorset and a little Suffolk. They are 10-12 weeks old as shown here.







The girls are kept safe from predators in our 6 foot ostrich fenced lot (orchard) that is shaded by a giant peach tree and are being fed lots of organic oats and GMO-free grasses.

Stay tuned as they grow...
