On the Hoof
Spring shearing is rapidly approaching, and we like to have pictures of our fleeces on the hoof to share with potential buyers. We have been busy trying to capture some images in the field… thought you might enjoy some of them today. Hope your Wednesday is wonderful.
The Hoggets
The hoggets – the not lambs anymore, not yet yearlings – are really growing out nicely. They are a very pretty group of young ladies.
We were lucky this year and had no breeding accidents involving the lambs, so they are all spending their days in a carefree manner, doing nothing more than growing strong bodies and beautiful wool.
Some of them are catching up with Bella (last year’s 4-H market lamb) which is very pleasing. Bella (below left) is a Hampshire – Suffolk cross, a meat breed, bred to grow faster. We are really pleased that many of our wool breeds are pretty close to her in size. She is very beefy but her wool is only about 1 1/2 inches long while the other breeds’ wool have grown 3 inches or more.
And these faces… oh my… they are so lovely… we could watch them all day long.

Calendar Girl
At the urging of several friends and readers, we are considering producing a calendar for 2013. Can you help us with some input. Of the three photos in this post, which one would you prefer seeing in a Sheeps and Peeps Farm calendar?
Number 1 – Aurora looking at you?
Number 2 – Aurora looking at you but with more mountain scenery in the background?
Number 3 – Aurora’s profile with mountain scenery?
Please post your input in the comments. Thank you!

The Weekend
After Friday’s bitter winter storm, Saturday was very much like living inside of a snowglobe. The high winds had ceased and the snow continued, falling gently… leaving everything looking like the winter wonderland it should be in January.
Although bitterly cold on Sunday, everyone seemed to be enjoying the winter weather. The deer came up out of the hollow and were grazing on the knoll most of the afternoon. And Bella despite having two shelters and a dog house at her disposal, chose to sleep out on the side of the hill under the goat tree.
