Rams Out

The 3 rams we used for breeding as clean-up to the AI were behaving very well and we had increased their pen size so today we put them back in the pen with the ram lambs. The older boys are enough bigger that none of the little ones will challenge them and they have settled who is boss. It reduces the electricity cost as we can turn off one water tank heater.

Monmouth Cap

Here is another Monmouth cap knit from the top down with our Black Welsh Mountain bulky yarn. This is what it looks like before fulling it in the washing machine.



And here it is after being washed in the machine.

Winter's Back!

Less than 24 hours later. Woke up to about 4 inches of snow and snowing hard. It got a lot colder too, around 15 degrees. So much for the thaw, winter is now officially back.
