First I apologies to my faithful readers for my lack of postings!
Here is what 's been happening down on the farm:
The final lamb count was 16 and some of them have already found new homes :) Weening is done and everyone is out in their respective pastures. All of the adults have had their shearing day and are all naked eating the freshly sprouting grass.
The goats have kidded and would you believe it they all had BOYS!!!! So the kid total is at 4; Buster and Bronco were born April 26th and Frick and Frack were born May 1st. All Black and white and cute all over!
We went to the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival at the Howard County Fairgrounds and participated in the Breed Display with our pure bred Texels. It was so much fun and getting to educate the public about the breed was thrilling! We saw many friends and really had a wonderful time.
Next up was the Long Island Fleece and Fiber Festival which was a first time gig for us. We had beautiful weather on Saturday and made some wonderful contacts as well as educated people about the Texel breed and the versatility of their wool. This is definitely a repeat venture! And next year we will do both days! We also got some information about a festival in Brooklyn, NY in October that we might check out.
I promise to be more diligent with my posting! Until next time! And yes next time will have pictures :)
