It’s been a typical Missouri winter with temperatures ranging from near 70 to 7 degrees. Sometimes within just a few days of each other. Last night we saw severe thunderstorms ahead of a cold front that left us with ice covering everything. Of course one of our dairy goats decided it would be a perfect time to kid. Mom had triplets and all did well.
Our Shetlands enjoy the cooler weather. The boys don’t seem phased at all.
It’s been a couple of years since we’ve had lambs. Back then, we selectively bred a few ewes to this ram I had gotten from Windswept farms in Michigan. We kept 2 of his sons and they haven’t disappointed as they’ve matured.
We are looking forward to having lambs again on the farm this spring.
