Autumn Updates
Wednesday, November 4th, 2009After our successful first-time October two-day festival (even with the bad weather), we discussed the possibility of having a sheep show in 2010. We toured the barn and it appears to have everything we will need. At this point, we are startnig to work with folks interested in putting on a sheep show and working out the details.
On the farm, fall has definitely come in full force. The apples dropped with the leaves this year. Our Icelandics really enjoy eating up the dropped apples.
We lost our dear Lunetta with what was likely a bacterial infection. Harley also appeared to have it as well. However, since we saw similar symptons in Lunetta, we were able to treat Harely. He looks a little skinny but appears to be recovering well.
We started putting together breeding groups for the sheep last week. Moving sheep around is always an experience. Rarely do they ever go exactly where you want them to go. If someone not from around the farm were to watch the humans running around herding the flock around, I am sure they would be completely amused.
