I have a show Saturday in New London at the Elementary School in the gymnasium and the following Friday night at the Bradford Fire Station from 5:30-8:30 (I hope!).
I will take pictures and post items I have available for sale after the 8th.
I want to start blogging more again. Facebook is nice as I can just post a line or two and be done. But, I think my account may have been hacked... So, I may be pulling away from FB and going old school!!

Sheep101

After raising sheep for 50+ years and giving advise on the for 25+ years. Here is a top 13 list of things to keep in mind, especially if your new to sheep.
1) Have a vet that considers you their client. Sooner or later you will regret not having one and most likely that will not be during business hours. The more "reasons" I read why people can't use a vet the less I believe them.
2) Assume every ram can be dangerous and don't normally work or feed inside of a pen with a ram.
3) We all think our sheep are special but they are really just sheep. This means if you can't get your sheep to stay in an electric fence or get lambs to grow well on a quality milk replacer it really is most likely something you are doing or not doing as sheep really will stay in electric fences and quality milk replacers are better not worse than the alternatives and this is routinely proven on many other farms than yours everyday.
4) If a sheep has access to even a blade of grass you need a worm management plan.
5) Keep on hand at least 2 dewormers from different classes and oxytetracycline and Bo-Se. When you encounter an issue very often one of those will buy you time to get a better treatment.
6) Colostrum Replacement powder really does work as well as frozen Colostrum and is way easier to use. This does not mean Colostrum Supplement is a smart buy.
7) FAMACHA scoring really is a good way to tell if a sheep probably has barberpole worms. The few times this isn't the cause aren't worth the delay in treating.
😎 A rectal temperature can quickly tell you if an infection or pneumonia cause is the problem or not eating or metabolizing enough feed.
9) Total use of antibiotics is usually less if you treat earlier than later.
10) Ewes down in late gestation are usually ketotic or hypocalcemic. Learn how to diagnose and treat. If either happen very often fix your ration.
11) Lamb tubing really is easy and saves many lambs. If you are reluctant to tube a lamb get over it you will keep more alive.
12) I completely disagree with anyone that feels bloat is an inevitable occurrence if you raise sheep. It's not. Pasture bloat occurs you put hungry sheep in a pasture with too many legumes. Grain bloat (acidosis) occurs when sheep eat more grain than they are used to. Your fences or gates will fail some day. You know this. Do not store pails or grain, tubs of grain or bags or feed outside the sheep pen. All belong behind another door or wall or fence.
13) Dewormers, antibiotics, coccidiostats, vitamin, energy drenches are NOT interchangeable. Just because you have one of these on hand doesn't mean it's at all useful for treating something one of the others address.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11690553.post-61549188964975754392023-10-25T13:58:00.000-04:002023-10-25T13:58:08.072-04:00Darn deer!!We were sound asleep at 1 AM this morning when the driveway alarm went off. And off. And off... 6 times in less than 2 minutes. And then it was quiet. For FIFTY minutes... Then it started to go off again and again. UNTIL I got up and shut the darn thing off.
There were at least two doe and an 8 point buck. I am assuming this is the same buck from last year that was 6 point.
I keep looking for his shed antlers, but no luck. Yet.

I will be taking pictures of available product in the next few days as I am unable to lift anything, but I can handle my camera.
I will only be posting available roving, recycled grain bag tote bags and some of my hand knit/crocheted items. Fleeces will happen at a later date.
Stay tuned as the dye kitchen gets built and the cabinets and appliances get moved in, and the shop camper gets its floors and walls finished so product can start moving in there.
Once I get the business out of the house and the dyeing, and hopefully soap making, all moved downstairs, I hope to start working on the main floor!!

Between the heat, the downpours and the flooding, it has slowly been completely gutted. We have bought OSB for the floors as we have sold product. After we bought grain and hay of course! Then we bought 2 rolls of linoleum to make cleaning the chicken camper easier.
This week I have been putting hardware cloth on all the windows (all the other openings in the camper were already covered) and the roof openings/vents. I will be putting new (leftover from building the house!) insulation in the roof so I can get that closed up as well. After the roof is done inside, we will build the two dividing walls to make it a 3 sectioned chicken coop.
We were able to pick up some free dog kennel this week that needs some love,but thankful I have the parts needed from someone that gifted it to us years ago. Sometimes it is good to say yes to free even though you have no clue at the time what you are going to do with it. God knows!!

This post is from 2021 and was in the draft file.
I have not seen Pixies stix this year. I hope all is well. Coffin cellars and Ewes Full Things were both at Sunapee Farmer's Market last weekend.</b>
<p> Since I updated this blog!! Never mind the fiber blog. Face Book is just easier to post a line or two on…</p><p><br /></p><p>I took pictures today of my fellow vendors at the Sunapee Farmers Market.

It is amazing to my how fast time goes when you are busy doing other things.</p><p>Next month I will have been out of work for 4 years and in the first 26 months of that 4 years I was to have 2 surgeries on my shoulder and then break my leg/ankle in 5 places 4 months before I was to return to work. And then to have 2 surgeries on that. This coming April will be 2 years since my second ankle surgery. Hopefully I won't be going under the knife again anytime soon.</p><p><br /></p><p>10 years. That just blows my mind! The carder has been sitting downstairs, under cover, just waiting for me to bring it out. Yesterday and today I got a good cleaning and oiling. There was mouse poop and moth casings on and in the machine. There was LOTS of fiber left in the machine from where we purchased it. That has been removed as much as possible and all of what was left has been vacuumed out. Now I just need to roll it to the other side of the building and put it to work.</p><p>Here is the blog post I made originally in 2011.</p><p> </p><p><br /></p><div class="fauxcolumn-outer fauxcolumn-left-outer" style="background-color: white; bottom: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; left: 0px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; top: 0px; width: 0px;"><div class="fauxborder-left" style="background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat-y; height: 881.396px; position: relative;"><div class="fauxborder-right" style="background-position: right top; background-repeat: repeat-y; height: 881.396px; position: absolute; right: 0px;"></div><div class="fauxcolumn-inner" style="border-right: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); height: 881.396px;"></div></div><div class="cap-bottom" style="background-position: left bottom; background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="cap-left" style="background-position: left bottom; background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; height: 0px;"></div><div class="cap-right" style="background-position: right bottom; background-repeat: no-repeat; float: right; height: 0px;"></div></div></div><div class="fauxcolumn-outer fauxcolumn-right-outer" style="background-color: white; bottom: 0px; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; overflow: hidden; position: absolute; right: 0px; top: 0px; width: 310px;"><div class="cap-top" style="background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="cap-left" style="background-position: left top; background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; height: 0px;"></div><div class="cap-right" style="background-position: right top; background-repeat: no-repeat; float: right; height: 0px;"></div></div><div class="fauxborder-left" style="background-position: left top; background-repeat: repeat-y; height: 881.396px; position: relative;"><div class="fauxborder-right" style="background-position: right top; background-repeat: repeat-y; height: 881.396px; position: absolute; right: 0px;"></div><div class="fauxcolumn-inner" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); height: 881.396px;"></div></div><div class="cap-bottom" style="background-position: left bottom; background-repeat: repeat-x; height: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="cap-left" style="background-position: left bottom; background-repeat: no-repeat; float: left; height: 0px;"></div><div class="cap-right" style="background-position: right bottom; background-repeat: no-repeat; float: right; height: 0px;"></div></div></div><div class="columns-inner" style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; min-height: 0px;"><div class="column-center-outer" style="float: left; position: relative; width: 630px;"><div class="column-center-inner" style="padding: 0px 15px;"><div class="main section" id="main" name="Main" style="margin: 0px 15px;"><div class="widget Blog" data-version="1" id="Blog1" style="line-height: 1.4; margin: 0px 0px 30px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;"><div class="blog-posts hfeed"><div class="date-outer"><h2 class="date-header" style="font-size: 11px; font-stretch: normal; font-variant-east-asian: normal; font-variant-numeric: normal; line-height: normal; margin: 0px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;"><span style="background-color: transparent; letter-spacing: inherit; margin: inherit; padding: inherit;">Thursday, November 10, 2011</span></h2><div class="date-posts"><div class="post-outer"><div class="post hentry uncustomized-post-template" itemprop="blogPost" itemscope="itemscope" itemtype="http://schema.org/BlogPosting" style="margin: 0px 0px 25px; min-height: 0px; position: relative;"><a name="6379774031759924632"></a><div class="post-header" style="font-size: 10.8px; line-height: 1.6; margin: 0px 0px 1.5em;"><div class="post-header-line-1"></div></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6379774031759924632" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Yesterday Jerry and I met up with Donna Herrick (more about her and her farm in the next post), to visit Battenkill Fibers in Greenwich, NY to check out and purchase this machine. Of course, I had my camera with me, but I did not get any pictures of the mill, the carder at the mill or in the truck. Where it is 'resting' right now will not be photographed. So, I took the picture and description from their website and gave the address with it. I am so looking forward to 'playing' with this. I need to set up its permanent home before I can plug it in. In the meantime I am reskirting fleeces and lining them up for their turn in the carding machine. There is a gorgeous Border Leicester cross soaking right now.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgCXd406rIjsiEzsIFRxT2-WSuXlUQ-2Qg69QXytmfSFBuQL7pyhoeYju-EVX5F7WttFJi1uu1TXdS1iU5rera5gX9yCWbqcYsnvGbejBnUPlxjkaItzugu0g0mvB3y57KYcvhQ/s1600/newcard1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="color: #888888; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-decoration-line: none;"><img border="0" nda="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGgCXd406rIjsiEzsIFRxT2-WSuXlUQ-2Qg69QXytmfSFBuQL7pyhoeYju-EVX5F7WttFJi1uu1TXdS1iU5rera5gX9yCWbqcYsnvGbejBnUPlxjkaItzugu0g0mvB3y57KYcvhQ/s1600/newcard1.jpg" style="background-attachment: initial; background-clip: initial; background-image: initial; background-origin: initial; background-position: initial; background-repeat: initial; background-size: initial; border: 1px solid rgb(238, 238, 238); box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 1px 1px 5px; padding: 5px; position: relative;" /></a></div>Here's our beautiful 1950's-vintage 16" Davis and Furber card with custom roving coiler (see front left corner of photo). A hard worker, just like her big sister - only smaller. Perfect for processing the fleeces from individual sheep or alpacas.

We went from a 40' x 40' 3 story Gambrel that we built to a 24' x 24' almost 3 story camp. The two bedrooms upstairs were in the rafters of the house. You had to tip your whole upper body in order to get around the end of the bed. The basement was filled with a wood stove, hot water tank, water pump and a few of our boxes. The camp was called a 3 bedroom, 1 bath, but there was no closets in the house. Now you can't call a room a bedroom with out a closet. Construction started on the new house, around the old house, in November of 2001. When we sold the last house we built, right around the same time construction started on this one, the basement and the garage was filled with boxes. </div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6379774031759924632" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;">Between work, the farm, shearing and haying, there has not been much time left to work on getting rid of stuff that moved from the first house we lived in together for 13 years to all the stuff we've accumulated here in 21 years. But, Lord willing!, this is the year we reclaim every room in our house and the garage. </div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6379774031759924632" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;">As much as I love the mills we use for processing fiber, it is time for me to do it myself!! I am sharing most of our adventure on our Face Book pages, but I am hoping to resurrect my blogs as well this year. As nice as it is to be able to drop a line or two, and maybe a picture, on Face Book, it has gotten very hard to work with as far as farmers and especially with animals sales. So, I plan to come back to where I started and just share a link to the blog on FB. Here I don't have to worry about politics and PETA. </div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6379774031759924632" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;"><br /></div><div class="post-body entry-content" id="post-body-6379774031759924632" itemprop="description articleBody" style="font-size: 13.2px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 570px;">Come back soon and see if I can get it up and running and start getting my own fiber processed! In the meantime, get out our fleece blog when you get a chance. I need to get that updated soon as well.

The good thing is I can not tell you where in the basement most of this is/was. I can't believe it has been close to THREE years since I posted this!! After I get done with the chicken camper and bring the shop camper back to the house, I am going to have to spend some time downstairs and make sure it does not look this bad. Sometimes you see the same thing everyday and you simply stop seeing it. :(

It's been a while since I've been here!<p> We've been very busy here around the farm, out shearing, out in the hay field, and in the gardens. Despite Covid, we've been busy. The nice thing about farming is you have plenty to do without having to see people. Don't get me wrong, I like people, I just like farming better.</p><p><br /></p><p> Right now it is 68 degrees and I am taking a body break from cleaning out one of the gardens of all the dead plants. I've been meaning to, but other things distract me. :)</p><p><br /></p><p> I will take, and post some farm pictures later this week. Before we start putting everyone back together. Saturday will be 4 weeks since we started breeding. Yes, we are two months later than normal, but the lambs will be ready to go on other people's pastures when they leave here at 8 weeks. And, thankfully, ALL of our lambs are SOLD!!</p><p>I am out of here!! See y'all soon.</p><p> </p>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11690553.post-83311887587419745382020-03-09T09:59:00.004-04:002020-03-09T09:59:29.850-04:00Fleece teaser<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Coccidiosis is a parasitic disease of the intestinal tract of animals caused by coccidian protozoa. The disease spreads from one animal to another by contact with infected feces or ingestion of infected tissue. </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Diarrhea</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, which may become bloody in severe cases, is the primary symptom.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">My take away here is to keep your land, especially around the feeding stations, dry. </span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Sporulated oocysts are resistant to adverse environmental conditions and </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">can survive</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> as </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">long</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> as one year in moist, protected environments if they are not exposed to freezing or extremely high temperatures.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Here is how to clean your animals yard (dogs), I don't know how effective it is for the sheep yard, but you never know. You could use the ammonia and water mixture to clean your feeders, and your boots when leaving the barn. I think I am going to put a tray with this mixture in it in the barn for people to walk in before coming in and after leaving the barn. We've always used bleach and water, but we will do this combo instead from now on.</span><br />
<a href="https://www.hunker.com/13406013/how-to-treat-your-yard-for-coccidia">https://www.hunker.com/13406013/how-to-treat-your-yard-for-coccidia</a><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This is the best take away that I got from the following site.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #ebebeb; color: #1a1a1a; font-family: "Helvetica Neue", Helvetica, Roboto, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 19.2px;">Preventive medications must be used at least 30 days before lambing to prevent ewes from infecting their lambs and at least 30 days prior to weaning to help protect lambs during this stressful event. Additionally, the use of a coccidiostat at the right time in the production cycle does not replace proper hygiene but complements it.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Dogs and cats can get it as well. </span><br />
<a href="https://www.petsandparasites.org/dog-owners/coccidia/">https://www.petsandparasites.org/dog-owners/coccidia/</a><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">It is not uncommon for very young puppies and kittens to contract </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">coccidia</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">, but the infection will usually </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">go away</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> without treatment. However, some animals </span><b style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">do</b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> not fight it off on their own, and will require a vet's assistance. The number one symptom to watch for is bloody stool.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;">Just as a safeguard I think I will disinfect the whole barn with this product, walls and floors, the next time we strip the barn. I generally put lime down on the cleaned floors before putting down fresh bedding. Using yet another product might be going overboard, but if I can prevent the losses like we had last year, I am willing to try it. </span><a href="https://www.amazon.com/One-Step-Disinfectant-Cleaner-Deodorizer-Concentrate/dp/B00B9G3ZJM/ref=sr_1_4?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIop6akOns5wIVy5-zCh2ZDQSFEAMYASAAEgIbFvD_BwE&hvadid=390322337174&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9002270&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=566393309299692298&hvtargid=kwd-301777535918&hydadcr=27885_9997808&keywords=coccidia+disinfectant&qid=1582638208&sr=8-4">https://www.amazon.com/One-Step-Disinfectant-Cleaner-Deodorizer-Concentrate/dp/B00B9G3ZJM/ref=sr_1_4?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIop6akOns5wIVy5-zCh2ZDQSFEAMYASAAEgIbFvD_BwE&hvadid=390322337174&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9002270&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=566393309299692298&hvtargid=kwd-301777535918&hydadcr=27885_9997808&keywords=coccidia+disinfectant&qid=1582638208&sr=8-4</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11690553.post-38112155946277504272020-02-08T08:20:00.000-05:002020-02-08T08:20:56.186-05:00I learned something new todayKaopectate and Pepto Bismal are no longer (and may never have been) safe to give sheep for diarrhea. It was highly suggested by a number of people to use Kaolin Pectin instead. I will look when I go to the grain store today just to have some on hand.<br />

Clinical Signs of Hypomagnesemia</h4>

The clinical signs of magnesium deficiency are dramatic. Ewes affected by magnesium deficiency are often either unable to walk or appear uncoordinated. They will often collapse and become sensitive to touch. They frequently show trembling, and when they are stressed they will rapidly become recumbent with legs extended and exhibit involuntary contraction of muscle (tetanic spasms). If they are not treated immediately, death follows rapidly</div>

Just something else to thing about. I think this spring I will work on overseeding the pig yard with more legumes. <a href="https://ag.umass.edu/crops-dairy-livestock-equine/fact-sheets/perennial-legumes-grasses">https://ag.umass.edu/crops-dairy-livestock-equine/fact-sheets/perennial-legumes-grasses</a> There are a lot of grasses growing out there now that came from putting pigs out there for 3 out of 7 years. They rooted up almost all of the swamp/sedge grass and I assume the grasses growing out there now came from the hay they ate and their poop. I am not sure of the grasses, but some overseeding won't hurt. <a href="https://www.deercreekseed.com/tools-n-guides/post/the-5-best-seed-mixes-for-small-scale-livestock-poultry.html">https://www.deercreekseed.com/tools-n-guides/post/the-5-best-seed-mixes-for-small-scale-livestock-poultry.html</a></div>

I believe it goes with the nasty weather outside and the change in barometric pressure.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">One of our shearing customers has a very sick sheep. She thinks they may have eaten too many acorns which can cause poisoning. This is from the Merck Vet Manual online. I refer to this manual a lot! <a href="https://www.merckvetmanual.com/toxicology/quercus-poisoning/overview-of-quercus-poisoning">https://www.merckvetmanual.com/toxicology/quercus-poisoning/overview-of-quercus-poisoning</a></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><b>Taken from the web page-</b> <span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Open Sans", Fallback, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.14px;">Signs include anorexia, depression, emaciation, brisket edema, dehydration, rumen stasis, tenesmus, smell of ammonia on the breath, serous ocular or nasal discharge, polydipsia, polyuria, hematuria, icterus, and constipation followed by mucoid to hemorrhagic diarrhea.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Open Sans", Fallback, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.14px;">Consumption of a pelleted ration supplement (1 kg/head/day) containing 10%–15% calcium hydroxide plus access to more palatable feeds may be used as a preventive measure if exposure to acorns or oak leaves cannot be avoided. Calcium hydroxide, activated charcoal, ruminatorics, and purgatives (such as mineral oil [1 L/500 kg], sodium sulfate [1 kg/400 kg], or </span><span class="disabledResolvedDrug" style="background-color: white; box-sizing: border-box; font-family: "Open Sans", Fallback, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.14px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; padding: 0px; text-size-adjust: none;">magnesium sulfate</span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: "Open Sans", Fallback, sans-serif; letter-spacing: 0.14px;"> [450 g/400 kg]) may be effective antidotes if administered early in the course of disease. Polyethylene glycol (1 g/kg/day) administered in the feed or water will bind tannins and reduce tissue damage. Fluid therapy to correct dehydration and acidosis and transplantation of ruminal microflora may be beneficial. Clinical recovery usually occurs within 60 days but is rare if renal dysfunction is severe. Improved range management to limit grazing in immature oak stands will prevent development of the syndrome.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We know our sheep eat a lot of acorns here in the fall. I am not aware if we have had this problem, although it could explain 3 of the deaths we had last spring. It is hard to keep them away from the oaks as most of the woods here are red oak. </span><br />

Fortunately for that lamb, he got colostrum from his mother before she prolapsed her uterus and the start of her intestines before she had to be put down. And, the mother we had grafted him onto had lost her lamb less than 48 hours earlier and had a very full milk bag. Last night when we lifted him out of the pen to put in his ear tag and to dock his tail, his new mother went berserk until we gave him back. He is definitely hers! If you can do this, instead of bottle feeding, I would highly recommend it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">There are lots of problems, and rewards, raising a lamb off its dam. This blog has LOTS of information on raising orphans.</span><br />

May this month be better than last. May we never have another prolapse nor mastitis every again!! Mentally we both need a GOOD month! </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">A couple of days ago, Gizmo had a white girl. Due to circumstances out of our control she lost her. She has been crying for her ever since.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Yesterday afternoon when Jerry got home from work, we had 2 in active labor. Unfortunately for them, the lambs were huge and we had to help with the delivery. Both ewes went to work cleaning up their ram lambs. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Peaches, a registered Horned Dorset, had the 4th generation ram from Fruitcake Farm in Grafton. We bought Cornelius from Marguerite as a lamb. He created Christopher at 4 and at 5 Corny went on to a large farm in northern NH as a breeding ram. Christopher created Chip at 4 and shortly after he turned 5 we lost him from issues created when he was cast in the woods for who knows how long. Chip created this new ram lamb, yet to be named, this past year. Unfortunately for him, the 3 months I was in the wheelchair he did not get a lot of human interaction. He decided he did not like Jerry and started swinging his head and horns at him. At 20 months he become sausage.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Ebony, a Dorset/Romney ewe, had been giving us issues with her prolapsing for the last 2 weeks. We have gotten real good at holding her up against a wall and putting it back in and then putting in a prolapse paddle. Jerry delivered her ram lamb, all appeared good. He checked her a couple of hours later, still good. We went out to feed and put in and she had prolapsed again. This time was severe. This is the 2nd time in the 20 years that we've been here that we had a uterine prolapse due to the placenta NOT detaching from the uterus. Unfortunately, he had to put her down. But, she did get to nurse her baby and give him life giving colostrum.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We brought Gizmo back in the barn and introduced her to the lamb. He went right up to her and started nursing. So, a little Vicks vapor rub under her nostrils and some on his rump and anal area and into a small pen they went. Almost 12 hours later and he is doing great. Gizmo is not so sure about this, but her bag was so full she is thankful for the relief. We are taking turns getting up every couple of hours to make sure he is nursing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As I type this at 12:45 am I have another ewe in active labor. Her water has broke and she is wandering the stall through sleeping ewes looking for her lamb not yet born. I am sitting here listening to the baby monitor for her to get closer. While I was making sure the lamb was nursing, I set up a light and secured it in a pen. After she delivers, I will put her and the lamb in there, turn on the light and close up the gate. She is still nickering for her unborn lamb, but not pushing yet. It could be a long night!!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Pictures will come later. TTFN.</span><br />

<br />
$300,000 At the very top of my budget. This would be the perfect 'new' farm for Ewe & I Farm. We could greatly expand our Horned Dorset flock and easily raise enough meat with other animals to feed us and my daughter. 186 acres would be enough room for a house for my daughter and a year round farmer's and artisan market between the houses. The end of the road. Close enough, but not too close to neighbors. I could handle it!! Happily.<br />
<br />
But, first we need to finish this house and get it ready for the market. I am decluttering as much as I can and organizing what I'd want to move from NH to KY. The wool business is going to be a lot to move. Equipment and displays alone with fill the horse trailer and the 1 ton cargo van!! Never mind hubby's garage and the building equipment downstairs.<br />
<br />
The good thing about cleaning out and organizing is I am trying to take pictures of all of what I want to keep for insurance purposes. God forbid we ever have a fire, or an accident moving!! And, it will help keep me more accountable on what I want to keep and to move.<br />
<br />
I still need to figure out how to get a mortgage before we sell this house. I wonder how much a bank would give us on this house in order to buy another. If anyone knows the answer to this, I would love to know!! Without paying an arm and a leg before this house sells.<br />

Or we will need to move the ewes out of the barn and the winter pasture into another area on the farm. If mastitis is really contagious (first we've heard that in 27 years of raising sheep) then we will need to get them out of the barn and the winter 'pasture'.<br />
<br />
We do have a used Rhino shelter with a new cover coming later in the spring. The plan is to put in on an area the is just gravel and no greenery in order to store hay bales on pallets. But, maybe we will move the girls down there for the spring and summer. At least until we start haying. I did buy a 10'x17' carport to put the boys in for the summer months so we could replace flooring and possibly pour concrete outside their door. If we can move the girls, maybe we will do the same thing on their side of the barn.<br />
<br />
But, we will see. I do know I want to find the time for us to finish enclosing the barn and to get it painted. I am looking forward to getting as many projects done on this house and property as we can before hubby is eligible for retirement in 2021. I am planning to sell as many things as possible this year as well. Things that I don't care to box up and move when/if we sell this farm. Things that I've not touched in a very long time and chances are I no longer have a use for. I don't know whether we will do a one or two day yard sale, or if we will just put it on Face Book market place. Either will take time... I am so looking forward to living in a finished house, even if only for a short time, and a DECLUTTERED house.<br />
<br />
I will be posting fleeces for sale on the fleece blog (<a href="http://eweifarmfleece.blogspot.com/">http://eweifarmfleece.blogspot.com/</a>) and on the Face Book page (<a href="https://www.facebook.com/WoolnEwe/">https://www.facebook.com/WoolnEwe/</a>).<br />
<br />
After all my surgeries I am finally feeling healed enough to do more. I am being careful as I don't want to end up getting hurt again!!<br />
<br />
And, if you want to keep up with news from the farm faster than my blog posts (SORRY!!) check us out on Face Book. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Ewe-I-Farm-208179205917180/">https://www.facebook.com/Ewe-I-Farm-208179205917180/</a>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11690553.post-37797134402715327972020-01-27T12:04:00.002-05:002020-01-27T12:04:59.055-05:00LambingWe started lambing long before we could get any information of the internet. The key was to know other farmers and to have a great relationship with your vet!! <br />
<br />
If you are lambing for the first time, this website is full of great information. Some is kind scary, but most is very informative. If you go all the way to the end of the page, on the right hand side you will find more pages to peruse. Take it all with a grain of salt as it is in the UK and some of these problems do not pertain to the US, yet.<br />

Like mastitis and prolapse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I belong to a number of sheep and livestock groups on Face Book. I learned yesterday from a farmer that when a sheep has mastitis, no matter how mild or severe, it causes scar tissue. That scar tissue can prevent milk from flowing into the teats and feeding the lambs. That might explain why we lost so many lambs last year, even though we never saw/felt mastitis. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">He also said laying in the snow with full bags could cause the same thing... Ours have plenty of hay that they won't eat to lay on, but there are some who prefer the coldness of the snow. I am not sure of this reason.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">This year we've had 2 with massive bags that we had to put down. One who had triplets that we bottle fed for the first 24 hours until she flattened/smothered one, and repeated it with the other two 12 hours later. We were hoping for her milk to let down so she would feed them herself. She had a big enough area, so there really was no reason for her to do this. The following day we put her down as she was going down hill physically and it was the most humane thing to do.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The other one also had a HUGE bag and was prolapsing every time she laid down. Unfortunately a prolapse paddle would not hold it in. She went into labor but was unable to deliver because of the vaginal prolapse. She was put down as well. She broke my heart as she was a favorite. Sweet sheep with great wool. Hubby sheared her for me (he offered) after he put her down.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Mastitis-</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> <a href="http://beefandlamb.ahdb.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/BRP-plus-Understanding-mastitis-in-sheep-180716.pdf">http://beefandlamb.ahdb.org.uk/wp/wp-content/uploads/2016/07/BRP-plus-Understanding-mastitis-in-sheep-180716.pdf</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I never knew mastitis could be contagious. (from the above PDF)</span><br />
When one ewe has mastitis
the flock is at increased risk
due to its contagious and
transmissible nature.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/mastitis-in-sheep-and-goats"><span style="font-size: large;">https://www.canr.msu.edu/news/mastitis-in-sheep-and-goats</span></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> We generally clean the girls area only once, maybe twice, during the winter months. We have found keeping a deep litter pack helps to keep them warmer. Cleaning to the floor allows the cold air to come up through the floor. But, we do put hay that they don't like or straw down to keep the floor clean.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Prolapse. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">We've had sheep since 1993. We've had a prolapse in a ewe that delivered a 16 pound lamb. We had to have the vet out for that one as it was our first, but not only was it vaginal but also the uterus came out. Her placenta would not detach from her uterus which was causing her to continue pushing. Unfortunately, she also pushed out her intestines causing the vet to euthanize her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One of the ewes hubby put down yesterday prolapsed her first time pregnant. The prolapse paddle was successful, and she delivered past the paddle as they a supposed to. She went on to deliver 2 more years without an issue, until this year... She was the 3rd prolapse we had this year. The first prolapse her uterus which tore causing internal bleeding. She was the first put down. The second was successfully put in and the paddle and harness(modified sheep coat in our case) put in and on. Two weeks later and she is doing well with the paddle still in. Then we have our 3rd with one of my favorite sheep. The paddle did not work for her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://askavetsheep.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/prolapse/">https://askavetsheep.wordpress.com/2013/02/02/prolapse/</a></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Some of the pictures in the following are quite graphic!</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that you have been thoroughly saddened and grossed out, I will return to my barn to ensure there are no more surprises happening.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As of right now, we've had 5 ewe lambs born to 3 ewes and 1 ram lamb born to another ewe. I have 2 ewes that have normal udders and vulvas that are extremely uncomfortable and may lamb in the next day or two.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I see no signs of huge udders in any of the other sheep, including the one wearing the prolapse paddle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am awaiting the a</span><span style="font-size: large;">rr</span><span style="font-size: large;">ival of penicillin and LA 200 from </span><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://www.jefferspet.com/">https://www.jefferspet.com/</a> in case of any other treatable cases of mastitis. The Nuflor and the Dexamethasone will have to come from the vet. I am already waiting for Oxytocine from her.</span><br />

God is good!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last year a 'gentleman' approached 3 of the owners</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
of fields that we had mowed for our sheep for the previous</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
3 years (at least) with the story that he was a local that </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
needed the hay to feed his cattle. These owners 'gave' him</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
the fields. We ended up buying hay. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This year, one of the customers emailed to say this person</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
backed out of doing her fields, could we come back? Yes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then the day Jerry was cutting this field we came home to </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
a message on the answering machine from one of the owners.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The 'gentleman' sold his cows and would not need the hay.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He would be coming in to bush hog it. The owner did not</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
want that and wanted us to have the fields for our sheep</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
and was sure the other owner would as well. Were we still</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
interested in the fields for hay? Again, yes!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With my broken ankle last year, I was unable to help</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jerry at all last year. The neighbors did what they could,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
but they have their own farms and lives. God knew what</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
he was doing when he took these fields away. And,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
despite having to buy hay, I am most thankful to all</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
who purchased fleeces from us over the winter and </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
spring. That is how we paid for hay and grain.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now, it is time to get off the computer and get some fleece</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
work done. I hope to be posting fleeces on the wool blog soon.</div>
