Winter Blahs

Not much going on right now. The sheep are getting fat, we fill hay feeders, fill water tanks and repeat. I haven't been taking many pictures so not much new.

Last week we had help and got all the ram lambs toes trimmed. Still have all the ewes, rams and ewe lambs to do but at least it's a start.

After toes the next big thing will be shearing. We are currently scheduled for shearing the last Saturday in March. Should be interesting and busy then as we'll see how the wool is for the year.

This week we are starting the spring thaw. I know we'll get freezes and more snow but for now we are back to mud season.

The elk are back!

Unintended Consequences

One of the issues with the solar panels being up high to keep them out of ram reach is that they are also too high to easily brush the snow off. Now if they were on the roof we'd just have to wait until the snow melted. With them sort of close to the ground we decided to try to clear them so we get more electricity. Seems a shame to waste such nice sunny days.





Unfortunately the broom was not the best tool. It did eventually work.
