Wow, things have been soo incredibly busy here. We just wrapped up lambing on the farm a few weeks ago, and a good year was it! We came out with a total of 15 rams, 8 ewe and 7 rams. 10 lambs are Shetland and 5 are from Hannah's Leicester Longwool ewes. Poppy, her YCP ewe finally had her lambs after looking like a balloon, finally had 3 colored triplets, 2 rams and 1 ewe. Their totaled birthweights were over 23 lbs.She's been doing great and is raising all on her own!
Check out the bottom of this page for some cute lamb pics! This has to be our favorite time of the year!
Since we never made a fall update, a brief section on last year's shows. We went to the NC Mountain State Fair, where Hannah's ewe lamb Delia did very well. She was Champion Shetland Ewe and Reserve Supreme Champion ewe, as well as Grand Champion NC Born and Bred ewe. She also had Champion Shetland Fleece. Way to go Delia! Hannah was also the Supreme Shetland Exhibitor as well. Delia also won Supreme Champion Ewe at the Dixie Classic Fair! We didn't go to SAFF this year since Hannah was competing at the NC State Fair Judging Contest, where she was the first overall junior!
