Good morning All!
The baby boom seems to be over for right now, the largest healthiest amount of lambs I have had at the farm in a good few years!
We will be ear tagging this weekend , helpful to decide which gals I will be keeping and who will be moving to new homes, sometimes folks worry that this type of marking is harmful, but it equates to an ear piercing procedure, simple and quick! …. The market is strong for lambs this year, I have had many folks come to see and hug pour babies , but these little ones need another few weeks before they are ready to move out… however, they do take every opportunity to escape to the hay “ mountain “ and practice their leaps and bounds!
With sunset coming later each day, I find myself out working around until almost dusk, AND slogging through the thick,thick mud! I have had to install a boot brush near the back door this season, and a boot scraper too. I and (I am sure you) make every moment off this longer day count !
Thank you all in advance for your ongoing support of local foods, and small Maine farmers and crafters! The planning phase is ongoing for our Farmers’ market season… it will be a great, great year, tentatively scheduled to begin the Wednesday ( in Falmouth) and Saturday( in Cumberland) after the Mother’s Day holiday!
So, get out and enjoy the longer, milder days… seems Winter is vanishing before our eyes!
