Even though it is now pouring outside the fences still need to be finished. This Monday the sheep will get the shearing for the mating season to begin and at the end of the month will go out to new pasture for a month or two. Then the waiting game begins for the new lambs to make thier arrival to our farm. A few lambs have been spoken for as dinner entries,they make a great meat selection.
The geese and ducks are just getting started and the chickens are busy producing but will increase the number of them to around 250 as the demand for our eggs has grown alot. We never seem to have enough eggs to go around. We can have 250 to 300 chickens with lots of space for them to roam around.
What is really cool about living on this farm is how we have all come to depend on each other. The animals all recognize my voice and I even have come to know each different personality that each animal has. At night, I stand by the coop and yell "bedtime", to find all of the chickens from all parts of the farm come running to get inside for the night. At first, it was just plain funny to witness, but now it's just part of the routine of our life here.
