Mid Summer...

Honu has now been weaned. He's a real sweetheart and a looker too! Here he is at 4 months of age.

This ewe is showing the typical shedding out pattern. This was a number of weeks ago, and she is now nicely shed out. This is one of our lambs from 2010 and it was her first shedding. It appears that the Dorpers first shed their wool between the ages of 14-16 months.



Most of our flock grazing near the house... shameful amount of weed due to all the moving of dirt we did in the spring with our tractor! Nice thing about Dorpers is they also graze the weeds!!!

By early afternoon, the flock has headed back to the barnyard area for a rest in the shade.
