Happy (Redneck) Easter

Riki Llama

Well, our last Llama didn't work out. Molly had no interest in the sheep but looked cute, so that was her saving grace. So this time around, we got a Llama that was a guard Llama prior to coming here. His name was Dublin, aka Dubbie, but he got renamed by my Mom and Aunt Kimiko. 

 

His former farm, he protected goats. So he settled right away with his sheep. The LGDs saw him and started to bark and tried to drive him off but Riki stood his ground. He wouldn't leave his sheep, stamped and spit at the LGD. Finally a truce was called, all are friends now. Stella and Heidi soon figured out that Riki was not a predator. 

 Gathering up his flock. The sheep took to him right away.

Riki also found his feed bucket. I give him grain each day so he comes when I call him and he gets settled in. We think he will fit in as he hangs out with his sheep.

Ever count sheep to sleep?

Ever have a hard time sleep, and try to count sheep.

 

 

Oops, doesn't help when you have over 100 sheep....what happens if two jump the fence at once?

Sheep Vampire?

The proceeds of this sale will benefit the non-profit Wolftown’s agriculture program, YamLamb sheep and cattle co.

I am waiting on news to see if the project will be able to get some funds together so I will not have to sell. I want these dogs to work, have inside living arrangements and not be bought just to be sold. I retain breeding rights. Which would be worked out when sale is made.

I should know by Friday, sorry folks but as this is a forced sale I want to give the project time to get patrons involved before I make a sale.

UK snow storm a diaster for farmers

Most of you are well aware of the horrible snow storms that have been hitting the UK. Here is a clip of a farmer trying to find and dig his sheep out. It's a terrible situation to be in right now. I am never going to whine again about our snow storms over here.
