After over a year with no posts. I am re-activating my farm blog. I've moved the location though so come on over to Desert Weyr Blog

Yoda's Lambs

Desert Weyr Yoda is one of our pet wethers. He is usually fat enough that he looks like he will lamb.

In this case as Ken was checking the sheep he noticed that Yoda had managed to snag a set of twins to care for. Mom, Desert Weyr Briallen seems glad to have an additional babysitter.


Yoda and his Lambs.

Lambing is Over

Our 2011 lambing season is over. 58 nice lambs but way too many open ewes. Desert Weyr Logan will be guest of honor at Revolution Brewing later this year in smoked kolbassi sausages. He didn't get a single one of his ewes pregnant. The other ewes will get evaluated. They were all part of the AI experiment and may not have had a chance with a live ram during a full heat cycle. I have some calendar homework to do to figure that all out. Some will be culled for teeth issues anyway.
