Fall Farm Day

Today was a perfect day for the Farm Club (see link on the right).   Sunny, but not hot, no wind.  Five people came to spend the day on the farm. We worked in the morning and played in the afternoon. I had sorted out the spring lambs from the adult ewes. We separated the rams--they're done for the year. We treated all the ewe lambs, replaced ear tags (remove baby lamb tags and replace with larger, easier-to-read tags), and took photos of the few lambs that I have not yet registered. We also vaccinated the 2-month old lambs. It was great having help with all of this.

We sent Rusty out to get the second group of sheep:

3-w

After we finished with sheep chores we moved on to a few others.

Then it was time for lunch and relaxing. I appreciated the help with farm chores and enjoyed the company. I look forward to Farm Day in the spring.
