Lambs 2010

These two are Beaulah's boys. The morrit is both better built and calmer.

Lambs 2010

These are Olga's boys. The one in back takes after his mom! See the mouth set? Very nice well built lambs with beautiful fleeces.

Olga the Big

This is Olga. Doesn't she look tough? This is a big beautiful ewe with a great udder! She has a great depth of chest and shoulder. She's long and deep throughout. We called her Bossy for a long time before I caught this look on her face. Olga is big and she knows it! She also loves a good scratch!

And this is Olga's Morrit Mouflan Badgerface lamb.

This is Beaulah's Morrit mouflan lamb.

Onions and such.

These onions are about 12 to 18 inches tall. I put them in the ground in Feb. The peas are planted along the fence right behind the onions. I have very limited space in my yard so I have to take advantage of every little area.

Update on broiler chickens & Muscovies

Just wanted to fill you in on the end results of the broiler chickens. We butchered 10 cornish-x
chickens. They all butchered out between 4.5 and 6.5 lbs. The majority were in the 5-5.5lb range.
We butchered at 9 weeks. Next time I will butcher one or two weeks earlier because I think plucking will be easier and we lost 4 in the last two weeks due to leg and heart problems. We still have 4 dark
cornish and 3 naked necks in the chicken tractor. These we will let grow for about 4 weeks longer
as they seriously do not grow as fast as the broilers. The ducks should start hatching about the time
we butcher the rest of the chickens. Then they will take up residence in the chicken tractor. Muskovy duck is the all around best eating duck there is! And so easy to raise. I can't wait to get some in the freezer. Until next time.
