This year the flock had 13 pregnant sheep going into the winter, so far we have 14 new lambs 'pronking' and playing in the pasture with 5 more pregnant moms to deliver!! All healthy & only one delivery we had to help with (a HUGE lamb!!). The store that sells our lamb is in Hilo and is now getting monthly deliveries from us. It quickly sells out, so they are even happier about the new arrivals!
Leslie's Christmas wish was for a hot tub to help shoulder and back pain.... so the Bunk House now has one & Mike's next big goal is finishing the drywall, painting & wiring it for cable, TV & Wifi.... he agrees it helps sore muscles!!!
So our Xmas card foto this year is Eggnog, the first lamb born this season.... our task is tracking the sheep & managing them for health matters.... an unexpected challenge was naming all those we'll keep and breed.... this season 12 of the 14 lambs are ewe's (females) so we needed lots of names, guys just get a letter!!
