Lambing 2018

We are lambing out some of our ewes early this year! My girls started 4-H last year and our big sale is the beginning of June SO that means January lambs!! We really lucked out and starting lambing after a couple really chilly cold snaps!! Stay tuned for some adorable pictures.....

Our dream when we got married,
was that we would be blessed enough
to live and raise our children on a farm.

After 10 years of marriage
our work and a little bit of "luck"
landed us on a small piece of heaven
in Southern Alberta.

We love living here.
We enjoy gardening
{some of us more than others}
and preserving our food.
We enjoy having animals.

I knew that if given the opportunity
I wanted raise sheep for wool.
After "shopping around" for the right sheep,
we found the perfect fit for our family.
We purchase a trio of mature breeding stock of
Olde English Babydoll Southdowns.

They are easy to handle,
produce excellent wool,
make fantastic lawn mowers,
and are great mothers.
{not to mention they are adorable}

We have been able to add to our flock
and now are able to offer these perfect little sheep
for other people to enjoy and raise.

We also have a bunch of other creatures
and from time to time
we need to make more room for someone else!

We are excited to share
the lessons we learn
and the experiences we have.
