The day has come to say goodbye to ten of our ewe lambs. I'm so happy to have found a home for them on a nice farm instead of going to market. These little ones will grow up and have babies and enjoy many good years of sheep living. Here are a few pics just before we loaded them up onto the trailer. I will miss "Bitsy" (#099) most of all. She was our smallest ewe and extremely cute.

Yesterday I built what I hope to be the last sheep shelter for the farm. Since the Hayfield Pasture doesn't provide any shade, we needed a place for the sheep to get out from under the sun and bad weather.
The day has come to say a fond farewell to #50. #50 is Babysheep's brother. He's my favorite ram because he's so friendly. I will miss him. Here are a few pics of his new home near Wisconsin Dells. It's sad to see him go, but I'm happy he's a found a beautiful place to live with many other sheep and goats. A little ram buddied up with him right away and showed him around--really cute. The farmer who bought him is going to use #50 for breeding his ewes and promises he will live out his days a happy contented sheep. Goodbye little one. Have a great life!
Gary arrived at Bear Valley Farm yesterday. He's a beautiful friendly Toggenburg wether and looks so much like our dearly departed Goofy that we just had to buy him. He's settling in nicely and getting along well with the rest of the goats. Even the donkey likes him.
