Car Ride!

Me and the girls went to visit grandmas farm today! It was very exciting! Here's some photos from the car ride. :)








And below is one from the ride home...with all the clothes in the backseat...'Nisa felt it was her job to keep them safe I'm sure.....

When dogs attack...

Here's my sheep killer, caught in the act! LOL. She even got that pretty blue lamb! Little turd...I had it sitting on my desk, cats knocked it off into the chair...and she said MINE!

I think she's still trying to chew on the squeeky in this one...


Sheep killing is such hard work! lol

Cat Fight!

Okay, well, not really. But the kids were feeling rather rambunctious today. So I snapped some photos...Wish I had an instant capture!

Get away!


And a kick to the face!
Karate CHOP!
I'm gonna getchya!
Take that!
I'm all tuckered out now....

Lazy critters!

I was jealous cuz everyone else has new photos to post and I didn't...so, even though they're not lambs, they're still fuzzy and soft! :)



Tina will actually hold Ace down sometimes to make sure he stays still while she cleans his fur...so cute!


No he's not missing an ear...it's under his head...Dork!

Oh my! A lamb!

Cutest thing! Not sure what color yet...maybe you guys could help me? I think the ear tag needs changing what with the cold weather and chance of snow right now though....Let me know what you guys think ;-) lol

New photos

Some new photos of Firth of Fifth Likei. Look at that horn base!

River Oaks Issac, who is now available for sale, possible with a ewe or two as a starter flock! He's black iset, has a very dense fleece. Decent attitude, but he's still a ram!

Some of the ewes...in the VERY left corner is Konnels head, behind her is Tansy and Demi. In front from the left we have River Oaks Tasha poking her head out from behind LittleRedOak Jet, and on the right is LittleRedOak Gretel. In the backround on the right side is Lapacho (katmoget) and Kimia. The big force in the middle is Addie, one of our llamas.



Konnel is the grey right in front with Tasha to her right. In the backround is Tansy and Demi.

This is Kizzy. She's 3/4 Shetland and an absolute honey. I bought her about 5 years ago at a chicken swap for $64. She'll crawl in your lap if you let her....:)

What's goin' on?!


Fat cow that is Peoney coming through! :)

Oh mama llama Addie protect us from the big, mean camera-pointer-flasher-person!

Lapacho :)


Torrent looking particularly comfortable in her fatness...hopefully lots of lambies!



And yeah, I know this isn't a sheep, but I had to add it anyway, cuz Coralie's filly is just so darn cute! Just born on the 3rd.

JEALOUSY!!!

I am so utterly jealous right now...Garrett had his first lambs!!! Can't wait to see photos! I'm looking over my girls and looking at colors and pedigrees and being a bit more picky...and looking at Peeps girls drooling...heh. Some changes will definitely be made this year :)

It's been a while...and lots has happened!

Well, it's been quite a while since I posted last, but I've got a real excuse! We've moved into our new house :) Purchased it on January 9th, and moved in a week later. We're finally pretty much settled in, with HIGH SPEED INTERNET! wooohoooo! I'm so excited! Anisa and Izzy are adjusting okay to city living, and the cats are thrilled to be around us all the time, though no one is allowed in the bedroom to keep it mostly fur free hehehe. It's not a very large house, only 900 some sq ft, but it's home. It's got it's issues too, but hopefully nothing we can't fix. Payments are only just over $350 a month, so I've still got money for other things. Yay!

I am SO excited for lambing season. We had a hard winter, very cold at times, and a few mishaps, but I'm hoping lambs will perk me up a bit :) The girls are scheduled to start in the end of April, beginning of May, and I need to get the shearer scheduled as well. River Oaks Issac is going up for sale, and FirthofFifth Likei will be lead ram this coming fall. I'm thinking a grey kat ram or maybe a heavily spotted ram for my secondary ram. We're already planning a pasture for the sheepies, and hopefully clear more pasture for the cattle out of the trees so the sheepies can have more too! Hopefully I'll get some new photos here soon. Working overnights really takes everything outta me.

Also...my latest love...DAYLILIES! I purchased some a few years ago, but am really starting to get into them, and am going to start hybridizing my own this year. Will hopefully have some nifty concoctions next year!

Anyway, that's all for now. Hopefully now with high speed internet I'll be able to get a nice website up for the sheepies as well.

New at this picture posting thing....lol

Well, I took some photos of the sheepies. Any ideas on the yellow faced? I'm pretty sure the white is at least MOSTLY shetland, has a pretty decent tail, although a little wooly. Someone suggested Icelandic, but I didn't think Icelandic came in yellow?! Shes got little white "booties" too, super cute. They're getting friendlier. They live in a 8 pannel dog kennel set up in our front yard as lawn mowers currently...hehehe.
















And even though it isn't sheepies, I just love my dog, Izzy. Here's some photos of her new "toy" she had found, my sock. lol. Shes playing with her full sister, but a year younger, Jessie.

New Blog...Woot :)

Well, I thought tonight was a good night to start the new blog that I've been procrastinating on for what seems like forever. Kimia came up to me and actually stood to let me scratch her! Success! :) Oh wait...now I have...Willow...Kizzy...Peoney...Torrent...and now Kimia in my lap. But wait...if I even smell like cookies a LITTLE bit I have Karma, Tasha, Gillian and Diana eating my clothing, skin, fingers, anything available. Silly girls!

I don't understand mothers logic sometimes...lol. My mother tells me I have too many sheep and that I can't get any more *registered* sheep...yet she comes home from the auction with two more? Sure she got a good deal...but still! lol One is for sure not Shetland, but she thinks she's pretty...and the other could be, but it's so hard to tell for sure sometimes. They're both in a makeshift pen in the front yard since it seems like every other pen on our property is filled up...Along with Kathy's 2 lamancha does.

Lots to post, but not tonight. Kinda groggy from runnin' steady these last two weeks, kinda want to relax and not have to think...lol. I'll be posting photos and writing more about breeding pens and such later :) Ciao!
