another fleece ready

I'm getting faster! I hand sheared Frosty, the big ram in an hour. 7 pounds of fleece - after skirting!
8 more sheep to go ......

Fleeces are ready

It's glorious outside. The sheep, though, they're miserable. Out came the shears. The first batch of fleeces are ready and can be found at HarlequinFarm.etsy.com
I expect to shear the rest in the next week.
Lambs will arrive in 6 weeks!

GOATS!

Fidget and Peyton are here! Fidget is a brown Alpine, Peyton is a black Lamancha. They've settled in well and we're expecting kids in May.

My camera is having issues so I lost the better pictures I took. I'll try again but in the meantime - here are the new girls.



My thanks to Bonnie Peck and her daughters for raising these healthy, friendly goats.

Mighty cold out there

It was a bit nippy for chores this morning --15 degrees with 50 mph winds! Talk about an Arctic blast! I know it's cold when the ponies are staying in the shed.

Last year gave us white lambs, black lambs, a phaeo ewe lamb and a piebald phaeo ewe lamb. Lots of twins, two sets of quads. Breeding groups are all set. We should have lambs in May. I'm hoping for more phaeos and more piebalds. I fantasize about brown lambs .... Time will tell.

Fleece (white only this spring) and lamb reservations are available. No charge, just send me your contact info and what you're looking for. I'll also be shearing in the fall and will have colors as well as white available.

Congratulations to Rachel Gall and Jay Wolfe on their purchase of Aki. I know he will give you wonderful lambs!
