Winnie and the Ewes

We moved Winnie in with one batch of pregnant ewes today in preparation for moving Becky in with the rams. All the ewes were concerned about the new dog.


This ewe, Desert Weyr Annwyl, was obviously elected to be the one to go up and check the dog out.



Winnie passed inspection and they are all doing fine so far.

Etsy and Ravelry

Not many pictures lately.

I have been getting my on-line stuff organized.

We now have an Etsy shop as DesertWeyr . I only have a few things there for now. I'm going to see how it all goes before deciding whether to put more there or not.

I'm on Ravelry as Oogiem. I'm a yarnie on Ravelry for all of our Black Welsh and blended yarns.

All of our products can be purchased through our on-line store at our main website here. I've got the last of my 2008 fleeces up there. Once those are gone that will be it until shearing, currently scheduled for the end of March.

Gates Up!

Larry got all the gates for the last section of elk fence save one up this week. We'll have to either add more dirt under them or an additional piece of wire. They are down on the ground as close as they can get but the ground slopes enough to make sheep size holes on the bottom in some places. They sure look nice though. The last gate will be added this summer. We need to have a brace pole put in the sheep pen to hang it from and we can't get in there to dig the posthole until we move the sheep out onto pasture. So Larry will be back to do that in the early spring.
