12 Katahdin wethers went to the auction at Mt Hope today. The remaining 14 are in the small barn eating hay and grain and growing into nice lambchops. Between my regular customers and the farm market, I will need them this winter. I also have 3 BFL ram lambs that are not breeding quality that still need to put on a little more size before they are ready. Several others have already entered the food chain. :^)
We had fun on the trip to Mt Hope. After we unloaded the lambs, we stopped by Lams restaurant and had a wonderful Thai buffet. Then a stop at Yaggi's cheese shop for some sharp swiss, farmers cheese, and some smoked cheddar/bacon.
We have 2+ inches of snow, and its cold, cold, cold. A snow/rain storm is predicted for the weekend, and then colder again for next week.
Soon the BFL breeding groups will be combined, and the rams moved back into their batchelor groups. It will be good to have fewer groups of sheep to check on - but soon we'll have to begin feeding hay to the adult BFLs.
The calendar may not say it, but winter has arrived.
