Spring has sprung and we have bottle lambs. This is three of the four we have on the bottle. Two are ewes and the largest one is a ram. All are crosses. Total lamb count as of today 4 rams and 3 ewes. No goats yet.

This little guys was one to many for his mom so he's now on the bottle. She was a first time mom and had twin rams, both are black.

We did two days of demonstrations at Morgan Elementary with K thru 5th grade kids. They we all great kids and listened very intently to what we were showing. The bottle lambs were also a big hit.

This is the brown ram we call Finnigan

This is for one of the white rams #111

This is for the other white ram #131

Farmers Market just around the corner....

The last couple weeks has really given us some nice weather...The Snow was beautiful today but I really don't like the yuck that comes with it...I have a busy game plan the next few days to get lots of sewing done & spin. Isn't long til Farmers market starts up...The new Washington County Artisans & Farmers market has had & will have more winter markets. We will participate in those & will be ready to go come opening April 19th in Pekin, IN at the park....
I had 38lbs of roving come in yesterday from the wool I shipped off a couple weeks ago. Once again Stonehedge Fiber Mill in Michigan has done a really nice job....

Here's one of our white Finn boys that's available.

Another shot of some of the "boys"
Here's a picture of a few of our Finnsheep rams. Most are not "knee knockers" but are still manageable to handle.
