Ewe & I Farm does NOT have goats!

I got an email today for someone looking for a goat, I assume to eat. We do not have goats. I am trying to find the websites she said list us as having goats. We have sheep. Period.

One site I found says sheep, no goats. http://www.agrilicious.org/Ewe-I-Farm/about-us And, it won't let me log in!

All I find about goats on these sites is that hubby shears them...

15 lambs looking for their new home

These lambs and their mothers are NOT happy! First time they've been separated. They've got their own grassy area, and will stay in the lamb jug/kindergarten until they are all gone.

Nea and Noggen get naked

We'd been waiting for it to warm up a bit before we sheared the llama and alpaca. They are OLD and did not want to take a chance of them getting chilled. We didn't expect the temperatures to climb as high as they did. Needless to say, the animals were a bit uncomfortable.
Nea (llama) is at least 22 and Noggen (alpaca) is around 18-19, I believe. They've been here for 2 years now. Nea is in love with lambs! And, quite protective.

One of the nastiest things you can ever find in a fleece!

Scurf.

  Scurf (which may vary from sparse white powdery particles to thick white or yellow flakes) on the surface of the skin may also be seen with mite infestations.
 As with other parasitic diseases, poorly fed sheep are likely to become more severely affected.


And, other things you don't want to find in your fleece!

Every day is an adventure.

 Little Meredith (as in Mary is little lamb)

and the older lambs.  She is 13 days old now.

 Isn't she cute?! She will be staying on the farm.

 I will be glad when she loses her tail.

It looks kind of funky right now...

 Lambs (and their moms) out on grass.

 Condalista (Leeza) and her daughter Meredith (Mary)

 Stormy hanging out in the barn. The other

two are behind the door out of sight.

 Christopher decided to swing out the door, instead

of rolling it along the track. He is bad that way. (He is 

my Horned Dorset ram.) Jerry took it apart yesterday,

fixed it, and put a LARGE rock in front of the door

so he can no longer push it out of bend the track.

 Yesterday morning I went to let out sheep,

and found them all in the hall way of the barn.

They had trashed the hay stacked there, as well as 

a lamb fleece and 4 beautiful Romney fleeces that 

were at the end of the hall. I had tossed them in the 

barn a couple of days ago when I was trying to skirt

fleeces and it started to rain. I could not bring myself

to take a before picture as I was so close to crying or 

hurting someone... Somehow, they managed to slip the 

green gate up and out of the rings that hook it to the wall.

 Fleeces waiting their turn on the skirting

table. Fortunately, they did not destroy these!

 The hallway is now cleaner than it was to begin with!

 The trashed fleeces.

I managed to save 1/2 of the lambs fleece (below).

Needless to say, I was not happy with any of my animals

yesterday as was just as happy to go to work delivering mail.

Now, I need to go skirt some more fleeces before it rains

and get them on the fleece blog. I checked it yesterday and

it has been almost a year since I posted there. Time to fix that!!
