Shortly before we began leasing pasture, we started a small flock of sheep at home. In February of 2018, we moved them all out to pasture and a month later the lambs started arriving. Since then, lambs, rams and ewes have been luxuriating in fescue, crabgrass and some low-density shrub understory in the trees. It's been rewarding to watch the flock grow, both in numbers and sizes. We had 6 born to us our first season, with little in the way of complications, and they finished off knowing nothing but green pasture and their mothers' collective milk. It's hard to say more than that, when there's really nothimg more to it.

What this means, though, is that we now have lamb available! I'm sure you'll say we're biased, but we think it's fantastic. We processed the first one ourselves, for our own consumption (and some sharing), and it hasn't disappointed yet.
