Tonight we have just come in from the barn after the delivery of twin lambs...Scott and I had went down to our oldest daughters home to help them with moving a couch they had just purchased (using our truck) and then we decided to go out to eat (just Scott and I). We took our time, enjoying the evening...and upon arrival to home when Scott went out to do the evening chores, he saw that one of our sheep had delivered...so lambing season is now upon us here at the Keeslar Farm!
Two twin girls, that we might call salt and pepper for fun...!!! Not really sure yet. We are not sure if she is finished yet or not, so I will go out in a few hours and check. We have one more female that is expecting for sure, but not sure about the other two females at this time. This gives our small herd up to 6 females now, and depending upon what the other has, up to 8-9 females. Then by next year, if each has 2 more babies, our goal is hopefully by 2-3 years to have up to 25-35 females and begin a special farm -having organic meat, herbs, fruit and vegetables. (well we prob will not go with the certification of being organic, just because of the mess the government is in right now with that, but we do not use pesticides, hormones, at all. So will be unofficially organic)
Here are some of the photos!
