Another healthy Sextuplet last night .Then a big single right after...we now have a Quintuplet and a Twin

Big guy on a dead tree below the barn ... I LIKE lamb too !!!

Then this ...putting coveralls on needle falls out of pocket ,cap stays in pocket .Lands on the floor needle up ,then into ankle ! How's your day .

About a month ago had a ewe go down . Got her back and well. So decided to see what I could do to get the gals to the end .Been thinking and asking for a few years . Within 2 days we had a ration additive formulated and in the barn being fed .. Remarkable results . No more down ,not a harness or spoon . Not only do we have lamb vigor but ewe vigor !!! ... More later ... these Sextuplits were my 2AM On her own in less than half hr !

Vicki and I had the discussion we have to ship older ewes before they are an issue . Here is a 11 yr old Francis Winger original ... Just gave us 3 LARGE ewelambs, hr old drank a bottle of colostrum and have all sucked a very nice udder !!! ... So bloody impressive. Won this one

In preparing for the 2nd Annual Global Sheep Conference, we are working on a Canadian presentation that speaks to what our industry thinks the sector's good new story is. Our hope is to collate short videos from all walks of the industry and we would love to hear from you!

Home again ...Woodstock N.B. on Friday and Truro N.S. today . Poor old truck !

Very early start to my day , loaded and heading for Ontario...the lucky ones ?

So M/V samples for $4 at an Internationally recognized lab.... One week turn around

Group of Ram lambs , most are heading to Ontario later this week . Half are RR and most over 30 MAT.... PM if interested in a Ram . Only animals on the truck

Amber sheared some of our future and possibly some of yours...??

18 Ram lambs just Genotyped for Scrapie ...shearing them tomorrow!

First flock seen going over ..

Going back in time . Previous generations used to haul mussel mud through the ice with horses ... Spread a bunch this week !

Another short growing season . Froze for many hrs last night . Again tonight for 3rd night in a row !!!

Very pleased with the Rams we received doing a swap with Marie and Christian from Agronovie Farms in Granby Que . First thing I look at is the front end of the Ram . These guys are my type . We are able to build length and capacity in our ewes(second pic) .Which enables the ewe to have Quads and Quints for years .,but without a front end they don't last . The breeder needs to be cognizant of type .... Thankyou Agronovie ...hard to believe it was 3 years since you folks were on PEI for our last trade. Thankyou Ted and Joanne for making the run .
