The temp got up to 84 today, sun shining warm and an easy breeze and I am enjoying walking the pastures and seeing the cows and sheep in the Spinning C pastures. I found several cows in the west pond and the sheep laying in the shade under the trees at the south end of the hay pasture.

Cows getting in the pond. |

Socks and lambs don't want to waste eating time to lay in the shade. |
|
Teddy and lamb in the shade, watching me to see if I was going to call the flock in for some grain. |
|
Leicester/Shetland Ewe with her twins. The lambs have really been growing. They are almost as big as their mother. |
|
Dolly's girl and lambs...just keeping track of the lady with the camera. |

Danny is rebuilding old Johnnie. He drove this tractor when he was a little boy. |
|
Pears are getting ripe. We have eaten a few and they are so sweet! |

Most of the sheep are lying under the trees in the shade for a mild late summer afternoon. 101 sheep are in this pasture at this time.
I am going to decrease my flock. If anyone is interested in replacement ewes, give me a call or email me. Most are 1/2 Leicester or BFL. I also will be selling some shetland ewes.
We had a very good lambing year. We did not lose a lamb at birthing this last spring. I plan to travel more next summer and as I get older...I will be slowing down. I plan to keep 10-15 ewes and John and Teddy. I will also keep White Knight and Liam.
My phone number is 660-689-3073 or email me at rocnbarc@cvalley.net
