Saturday was shearing day, and we have been blessed with a beautiful crop of fleeces. With the fleece off it will be easier to keep an eye on the lambs’ conditions in between our scheduled scoring days. Saturday was chilly, damp and foggy, but the sun came out for just a little bit on Sunday. Despite all the rain, the leaves have hung in there and fall has been just beautiful.
Well, the lambs are sheared and the fiber room is full to the brim of lovely fleeces just waiting to be skirted. We’ve had our October snow and flirt with winter. Thankfully it melted quickly. The ewes are in their second paddock of the hayfield. The rams have been walking the fence line, just waiting for their ladies to be readied for breeding. It’s almost November, can you believe it?

The old barn, the hayfield, those puffy clouds *sigh*… the glory of autumn

In our flurry of moving activity, even Samson got in the rotating pastures mix. He is now in with Liam, Strider and Jack. A move he seems to be enjoying if the smile on his face in any indication. The boys… they just try to ignore him.
A little late this year, but we finally moved the ewes to the hayfield pasture on Saturday. Mid-summer was rainy so hay was made later this year. Then it seemed to take the grass a little longer than usual to re-grow to pasture length. The move went quite smoothly, and even Luke and Willet cooperated. The ewes are very happy in their new pasture, and will remain there (with some paddock moving) until breeding preparations begin.
