Hey guys, I’ve been wondering how you are doing. We survived the 11 days of freeze and the almost 15 inches of snow without any major problems. Nothing died and all are alive and thriving. I have ewes due starting in about 6-8 weeks and have been putting together my lambing supplies. If I have a bottle baby I have friend who will take it but for the future I am interested in buying bottle lambs to raise to slaughter and breeding Shetlands less. I am starting to consider adding a milk ewe… I would like to collect some Navajo Churro and Leicester Longwool for my fiber herd. Any thoughts? I don’t enjoy rams so far. I don’t think I would want anymore rams unless I kept one for the milk ewe, maybe a terminal sire to give lambs for the freezer.

@Edward Crowley thank you for the invite! This looks like a great way to stay connected and learn!
