Spring To-Do List....
There is never a lack of things to get done - but spring always seems exceptionally busy! Take a peek at the "to-do" list!
Spring shearing- Steve Kennedy and crew (with a little help from Rhett) got the spring shearing done in record time!
Poor Rhett is subject to everyone's antics....Kipton beware!
Tomascik-Poe Crawfish Boil- Chelsea's parents joined us for Easter in Indiana this year! I always love when the Tomascik family comes to visit! Rebecca makes the best desserts and Carl is fabulous on the grill! This time they hosted a crawfish boil for the family!
Kipton meets his first sheep- well not really his first sheep.... we had him in the barns shortly after arriving home from the hospital to introduce him to the sights and sounds of the lambing barn. Here Kipton is 2 1/2 months old getting up close with a ewe lamb!
Season's first win!
Kipton's first sheep show- tuckered out from all the excitement!
Spring Planting.....well.....we can't check that box yet :( Hopefully the rain lets up soon and we can resume field work!
There is a new Shepherd in town!
Kipton Blayne was born Jan. 15th-arrived about 6 weeks early for lambing duty! He is growing and doing well!
