Hi everyone, long day today, so we're all; business here. We will have 10 lambs finishing between now and Easter. I'll be taking them in as they reach optimum size and weight. If you have any specific requests like boneless legs or whole legs (including shanks), whole lambs, etc. now is the time to put in your request. They usually don't last long so act quickly.
We have a lonely rooster on the farm. Some of our ewes went on a visit to meet a ram on a neighboring farm for a few days. Carnal knowledge was acheived succesfully, and they were being loaded to come back home when a rooster jumped in the trailer. The trailer got here and he was unloaded with the ewes and deemed too much trouble to chase down so now he lives here.
He has tried and tried to encourage some of our hens to join his 'team' so to speak. They seem perfectly willing until the house rooster shows up and well, he's not having any of that. He even tried to encourage some of the roasters to, you know, date him.
His lonliness will be coming to an end because we're bringing on more layers for ths coming market season.
