Another perfect ewe lamb!

Such a great start to lambing this year.  This one's another beauty!  Stocky, excellent conformation and coat and colour!  What a strong vigorous lamb this one is!  This is mom's (Stunner's) first lamb and she's a knockout!  Mom's looking a bit raggedy as she's just in the process of shedding out.  We've named her "Tempesta" which means storm, as she was born outside during a bit of a howler!

First lambs of 2012!!!

B.B. has had her twins!  We're very happy as they're both perfect.  The one on the left with the little white star is Oliver, the one on the right Olivia.  A good start to our lambing this year!

Almost fully grown!

Our young Ram "Honu" is now 8 months old and is looking fantastic. He's well put together with good solid legs and feet and good size. We're pleased with how this young fellow is turning out.

New Blood!

We're extremely grateful to http://lochenddorpers.ca for leasing us a couple of Rams with different bloodlines than our ewes for our lamb production this summer! A big thank you to Bob and Kate Janzen. The Rams have settled in nicely and all is content at Castle Rock Farm. We're excited to be moving forward with our plans. Stay tuned for more photos and news.

At the Gate

As the weather cools and grass pickings are slim, the sheep are hanging around the barnyard and home much more waiting for a "handout"!

Farm views

Out for a fall ride. This photo shows the grasslands that our farm sits on. It's beautiful. Simba is looking towards the homestead (which is visible in the distance).

Yellow Grass

Fall has arrived on the farm. The grass is drying and yellowed and the animals are focused on eating constantly as if they know that cooler weather is on it's way. The spring lambs have all grown beautifully this year and are only fractionally smaller than their moms. We're getting our hay in the barn tomorrow and making our own preparations for winter.
