Solstice to Solstice :: Sweet

The summer sun is nearly done
Frost will follow soon
Asters and chrysanthemums
Light up the afternoon

The dew is on long after dawn
Mornings are a haze
One swallow’s song is holding on
In these fading sweet summer days

Meeting Boaz

Rebecca and Tim from Crossed Arrows Homestead chose their ram lamb yesterday.  Choosing from what we felt was a great group of four, they picked 1221.

Born on April 26th, out of Princess and Aragorn, he is a Border Leicester – Coopworth – Wensleydale cross.  He weighed 13 lbs 11 ozs when he was born and a whopping 90 lbs at weaning.

He has a wonderful health record, having only been wormed one time, and that at weaning.  He has a beautiful fleece and great conformation.  We are so excited to be involved in the beginnings of their new flock.  He is joining their ewes, Esther, Ruth, Naomi and all the other animals at Crossed Arrows Homestead.
Ladies and gentleman… meet Boaz!
