Beatrice is our bottle lamb from last year, and though she disapproved of the shearing process, she gave use a STUNNING lamb fleece! Definitely one of our prettiest and incredibly fine with beautiful bouncy crimp!

It’s so wonderful when your favorites also turn out SUPER nice 🥰🥰🥰

About a year and a half ago, our ram Hawkeye took great offense to us separating him from a flock of young ewes in heat- his daughters- and decided to remove the panel we had put up to keep them apart. He settled them all, very pleased with himself 😑

So we had a small group of daddy/grandpa lambs last year. Luckily enough, almost all ram lambs so it didn’t really matter. But there was this one little black ewe lamb who was just beautiful and quite mellow and friendly. So I talked David into letting me keep her a bit to see how she’d turn out…

She turned out! 😍 She has an extremely fine fleece, the finest so far this year. Reminiscent of Cormo, or ultrafine Merino. Also very consistent into her britch wool, both traits Hawkeye has really improved in our flock. I’m already trying to cook up excuses to keep her fleece for myself! 😂 She’s a little small still, but wide and big enough to breed this fall to our new ram (excitement coming soon!)

I’m not a close inbreeding/linebreeding fan, and honestly would not have intentionally bred this close. But I’m totally thrilled with her, and glad it turned into a happy accident. The lambs were small, and slow growers, so not something I’d continue. But for a naughty ram breakout, she’s the best possible consequence!

And I’m super motivated to carve out some time to wash a fleece!

So now she needs a name to officially join the flock! 😁

There is nothing better than seeing your animals in such great homes, being loved and shown and doing so well for their new owners 🥰

Goats bring the coolest people into your world, and there’s nothing as wonderful as being able to FB spy on them and watch them thrive 💕

Digging into the Keeper pen a bit…

Counted kids, and the number is higher than planned. So offering Chatterbox available. If you want in-your-face sweet and happy, who comes running with the happy little baby chatters when you open the front door- she’s your girl! Very people oriented. Demands a bottle, though she is perfectly weanable age. Lovely looong bodied little doe, with beautiful rump structure (just like all the Raptor daughters!)

I’ve finally found a negative thing about the Guernseys! They can reach FAR more trees for pruning 😑

But also, look at the lovely neck doing what it was designed to do- reaching tasty morsels far away 🥰

Some of our CVM fleeces so far 😍 The coated fleeces are AMAZINGLY clean and beautiful! This year we should have coats enough for everyone 😁

Really thrilled with how well the coats work. We probably need a round the next size up, as they outgrew them earlier than I thought they would so we lost some rump wool. But overall, they just look spectacular and it’s lovely clean wool to shear too.

We used the Fleecekeeper coats, they’ve worked great. We did get a couple tears on some lamb coats from a cattle panel, but that is hardly the coat makers fault and will be easy to repair for next year.

Available doe in milk, Patchwork Acres W Psilocybin (Silly)

Lovely productive doe, 3 yo 2F, trained to the milk stand for hand or machine. She had 2 nearly 5 lb buck kids this year unassisted, up dry and fed when I got to the barn. Loves babies, very sweet, gentle personality, loves attention. I think she’s going to be a really lovely mature doe. Can go anytime, she was spoken for but has become available again through no fault of her own!

This popped up in my FB memories💕

2 Ballerina daughters (L- Encore 4F R- Quark 2F) and a granddaughter (Kerioke, FF- center) from a couple years ago. No show fills, no posing, just my pretty girls in their working clothes. I need to do a lineup one day of all the Ballerina girls- but they wouldn’t fit on the stand! 😂

Kerioke is due to kid in about 2 wks with our last kids of the year (sired by Ilene’sRascels RR Komorebi *B) 💕

Encore has a beautiful moonspotted buck kid available, also sired by Komorebi. Her 7F udder this year is just as high and tight as ever, she has aged so beautifully 💕

This is why this line is basically my herd. I’m just a few generations from EVERYTHING going back to Ballerina, and I’m thrilled with it!

Feeding babies this morning and got Primroses little girl out, then turned around to stop a fight at the milk bucket- and she was gone! Just quick as a wink! I started walking bigger circles looking, surely she would not have gone out into the tall wet grass?!?! Starting to get really concerned, called Gus because he’ll help find babies and he didn’t come. Great lost two now! What is he doing?

Oh, lol!!! 😂 She hides very nicely under there!
