Ranch Problems: the cows are too fat. The grass was way too good last summer. And the hay was excellent for this winter.

Charging up the GPS collars for the season. So far, all of them appear functional. So this will be the third year that the same collars are lasting. That’s encouraging.

Update: beef is all spoken for.

Beef: we have a young bull going in the freezer on Thursday. He is indeed grass and hay fed only. Photo taken yesterday is of the actual bull. He will be going for straight burger processed by the amazing Graham Oakes and Bear Mountain Meats. There are several shares available that will result in a 50 pound box of burger per share in 1 pound packages.

Wool! We have wool!

Get your fleeces. They are inside drying fully on in floor heat. Most weigh 12-17 # unskirted. Uncoated. 

About 5 are Valais 12” plus staple length that are rug material. No undercoat.

About 10 are purebred Merino with insane 4-6” staple length, less than 25 micron softness.
About five of these have a yolk that is so wonderful there was no need for coating.

The rest are 1 # glorious fluffy baby fleeces, a gray fleece, etc.

Update: we have a good list of great kids for these lambs. Thanks for everyone’s interest and looking forward to seeing all the projects this year!

Are there any 4-H kids that are in need of a market lamb? Have a lead on meat lambs that will meet the requirement for our district. If so, send them my way and I will pass the contact information…. 🍀🐑

601 is my favorite to look at. Still a breed-up that is not purebred, but she is so beautiful 😍. And huge. Those cool horns. The beautiful Roman nose. Such a quiet character that never gets in to anything she’s not supposed to and never causes any trouble or makes any drama about things. Always interesting to see what they look like after they are sheared. 🐑
