On the Farm...Friday

Today the farm is doing well.  The sheep are enjoying some fresh snow.  We are getting more near to pregnancy's end.  We are making bigger steps this winter to ward of selenium deficiency.  We have salt and mineral blocks both with added selenium.  February is when our lambing season should begin. 

 We removed a ram from the ewes yesterday.  He was just too mean and we knew loss of lambs was about to happen as he guarded the water tank and butted any sheep who neared the tank in the side.  So he has a new home away from the mama ewes. 

The chickens all 57 of them... laid 5 eggs for me today.  *sigh*  I am excited though as I hope this means they are getting back into the swing of things.  We had a colder than normal stretch in December and my chickens just quit laying.  We've gotten 2-3 a day for the last week or so.  So getting 5 today was a thrill! 

Warmly, ~Melissa

I messed up my blog recently and lost your blog link. I'm glad I saved your emails, I've found you again!

I had to laugh about the chickens, mine aren't earning their keep either!

Blessings,
Ann
