Our mission is to raise American Blackbelly sheep that meet all bred standards, have calm temperaments, parasite resistant and are great mothers.

we use our Australian Kelpies to manage our sheep using low stress livestock management techniques.

Today the ewes got DNA tested after the board of BBSAI asked us to participate plus a spa day (aka hoof trimmings) and the lambs got new earrings (aka ear tags).
Poor Luna, we nicked a vein during the DNA sample and it took us about 40 mins to get it to quit bleeding. She did not seem to be in much pain more just annoyed with us 😒 sorry Luna 💓
Afterwards we took them to a nice grassy area as a thanks for their cooperation today.

Owning livestock is beautiful, but it’s also brutal.

People show the good parts. The chicks hatching. The newborns learning to stand. That first wobble. That first feed. And yes, it’s magical. It’s what keeps you going.

But what they don’t show is the grief.
The way you walk into the barn and something’s wrong.
The panic. The helplessness. The silence that follows.

We don’t just own animals, we love them.
Even when we have dozens, we know each one. Their quirks. Their sounds. Their routines.
We bottle feed them. We cheer for their first steps. We hope for them.

And when we lose one, it wrecks us.
No, it doesn’t get easier.
Not when you loved them like that.

You still cry in the stall.
You still carry the guilt.
You still bury them with your own two hands and whisper “I’m sorry” even if you did everything you could.

This life is raw.
It’s real.
It’s soul work.
And it hurts, because love always does.

Sometimes you have to just slow down and go relax in the pasture with the horses. Soldier takes his nap time very seriously 😴

Luna was the final ewe to lamb and she didn't disappoint. A 7 # and 9 # beautifully marked girls 🤩

So happy that lambing season is over. Final count is 17 total lambs, 13 girls and 4 boys. We lost 2 girls and 2 boys during lambing so final numbers are 11 girls and 2 boys 🤯 Tank sure does know how to produce girls! We have never had a lambing season so dominated by one s*x.

Well thats a first...Ping (our matriarch and herd queen) gave birth to a pure black 9 # ewe lamb 🤯 and another 8 # ewe lamb. Thank you to Holly Rene Gill for being my eyes and ears since we had a doctor's appointment and could not be there. Thankfully all went well with the delivery and mom and babies are doing well ❤🖤❤

💔 It's with a heavy heart that I post that little Lambo did not survive. We did everything we could think of to save him but ultimately it seems like something was wrong with him internally. At 2 weeks old he wouldn't eat or p**p on his own and he started to refuse even force feeding so we made the very difficult decision to humanly euthanize him.
Lots of tears were shed but ultimately he left this world peacefully and knowing that he was loved. We know he is no longer in a body that was not functioning properly which gives us some peace.
This ranch life can be cruel at times.

My days of staying up till 2 am used to be a lot more fun. After a night of exhaustion, sadness and some joy all I want to do is sleep. Daisey (a favorite ewe) went into labor delivering her first lamb at midnight breach. I had to assist getting him out and then hold him upside down for his lungs to drain and mom to clean. Next one took over an hour due to it being dead and not positioned right so I had to reposition and help pull. We thought she was done so Daisey got some extra attention and meds and with pure exhaustion we went to bed after 2 am. This morning when we checked on her she had a 3rd lamb but it wasn't alive either 😢 we are sad about the 2 beautiful ewe lambs she lost but we are praying that our assistance helped save Daisey life and her little boy.
The lambs weighed 7 # each 🤯 that's a lot of lamb she had packing in there.

Spring has definitely sprung at the ranch. The chicks are getting big and little Lambo is still hanging on. He is a bit frustrating because at 12 days old he still isn't taking the bottle which means I am having to force feed him but he is gaining some weight and is getting a little bit more energy each day. He still needs your happy bouncing baby thoughts and maybe send him some bottle suckling thoughts his way to.

Cleo gave us the first set of triplets today. 2 girls and 1 boy. Unfortunately, the little boy was much smaller and underdeveloped and he did not survive 🥺
On a happier note little Lambo, the bottle baby, is slowly making progress towards the better side. He still isn't an enthusiastic eater but after multiple enemas he is now p**ping on his own...as his care taker this is a big step towards survival. Keeping sending positive vibes his way as he's not out of the woods yet.
