Chores

Yesterday we did CDT shots and ear tags on the lambs and wormed the flock.  Also had the opportunity to evaluate some of the lambs we are considering putting on the sale list.

Waiting their turn

We get weights on the sheep.  The crate idea was discarded shortly after this photo and we resorted to just having Will hold them and stand on the scale.

Went with yellow for this years group of lambs

Rich gives the shots and wormer.  He also does a close scrutiny of fleece and health

Good records are a blessing after the job is done.

I am the sheep grabber.  Invented three new curse words while doing this job yesterday.

Hannah was the record keeper.

Me chillin with my girl Pearl.

What I am working on

It is a lovely, drizzly day today, I love rainy Saturdays.

Spinning Kyrie - a nice moorit fleece.

Finished spinning Lyanna's solid wool, pretty oatmeal white, next I'll spin her darker bits into a gradient yarn.  Lamb fleeces are so amazing to spin.

And re knitting Elara's hat.  I knit it once using a new cast on method and hated it, the edge was too rigid, so I frogged it and started over with my tried and true method of using two needles for the cast on.  I don't mind as I love knitting Elara's wool.
