Castration Day

Today the Old Farmer's Almanac said it was a "Best Day" for castrating livestock. I only had one ram lamb to do as the other 3 may have uses as rams in the future. Below I describe who gets castrated and some of the process. Be aware, it's very descriptive, so you've been warned if you read to the end! Amy

A Wee Bit O’ Irish Over the Homestead Monday…

A Rainbow over the home and no pot-o-gold! *sigh* This last week snow visited us again briefly. Enough to close school for the day but not enough to linger past about 1pm. Also, our chickens are on a roll right now and we're overrun! Don't forget to get on the list for Commercial St Croix/Katahdin Cross or Registered St Croix ewe lambs too as weaning isn't far off! Enjoy! Amy

Crazy Weather, Thomas the Cat, and a Farmkid…

We had more snow! Also, had some cool and not-so-cool trailcam visitors, my daughter got some farm lessons, we planted some early seeds, I made a new crystal grid for March and of course there's a Best Days list from the Old Farmer's Almanac at the end. Enjoy! Amy
