Spring has Sprung

Morgan and Barney are in the bachelors pad for the next few months.

We are excited that spring is here. The grass is growing and  our cow calf pairs were happy to arrive at the lease farm to begin grazing fresh pasture. Our cow calf pairs will remain together until the beginning of June when we will wean the calves. Morgan has been rewarded with a little rest and relaxation after a two and a half month breeding season.  Morgan bred 22 cows and 2 heifers this winter. This will be the first group of calves sired by Morgan on the farm. This is quite exciting as Morgan is homo polled (no horns) and all of his offspring will be polled as well. We will begin calving around the middle of October. 

Our flock was sure happy to start grazing.

Our lambing season has ended and we had a fairly good year. We have 36 ewes currently with raising 70 lambs. Six of our ewes are successfully raising triplets. All the lambs are healthy and growing well. The flock just began their pasture rotation and were happy to see fresh green grass. The lambs will remain with their mothers until the beginning of May. ​
