We are very pleased that we will have some lamb for sale this month. Supplies of some cuts may be limited until we get a second batch of lambs harvested and cut (ready for delivery in January).

Our biggest news is that John is doing wonderfully with his new hip. He is weaning off the pain pills and we expect him to be done with the rehab people today, a week or more early. He is obeying the restrictions the doctor gave him pretty well, while also being quite active. I’m still the sock and shoe putter-on-er but that is just about the only thing he can’t do for himself at this point.
Our friend, Pat, has been an angel about keeping our stock well fed. He’s been giving Tom a series of lessons about using the tractor to feed, and even gave me a long lesson on running the newer, bigger tractor. Thankfully, he hasn’t needed me/us to operate solo up to this point. My Dad has stayed around Soda so as to be available while John is off his feet. I think Dad maybe able to head south a bit earlier than we thought….
We had a nice Thanksgiving with John’s sister’s family, his Dad, and mine. Our kids really enjoy their little cousin, and its fun seeing the lego’s etc come back out and be played with again. It sounds like we’ll be joined by my Mom and stepdad for Christmas, so that will be wonderful. Despite my brother-in-law bringing a 20 lb turkey we are just about out of meat, but clearly I made too much stuffing!
The girls basketball team, for which Becca is a manager, has just a couple of games left, and then her activities will be down to just cheer and Job’s Daughters. Tom had a quiet 15th birthday, but he was very understanding about the limitations John’s condition imposed. The first semester will end in this month, so hopefully the kids can maintain or improve their grades.
While John overdosed on football I took advantage of some audio books I’d gotten for the hospital, and tackled a couple of things around the house that have gotten out of control. I am proud to say we can now put things away in our kitchen cupboards without cans falling on toes. Now to keep them organized for longer than a blink!
The rams went to “work” on Friday, so we should have lambs beginning about April 22nd. I got a good photo of “Stringy” the other day, and I’ve included it below. Some of you might remember his story, but here’s a summary. Stringy was a lamb in 2012, the year in which I had my abdominal surgery, and my step-mom was so ill with cancer. He was a bit of a bottle fed baby (lived with mom, but also drank bottles to supplement what she had). I don’t remember exactly why he was here at the house, after the rest of the sheep had been moved to the meadow, but he was. Shortly after my surgery, I went down to the barn to check on the rams and other sheep there and discovered that Stringy had a compound fracture of his front leg. He was packing the leg and keeping up with the rest of the group-he clearly wanted to live despite the injury. I didn’t have the heart to just put him down, so I spoke the vet and asked what could be done. He said the easiest solution would be to simply amputate the leg above the break, but it needed to be done soon, before infection set in. So my Dad gave me Stringy’s life saving surgery for my birthday that year. Stringy is now 2 ½ and doing pretty well for a 3 legged sheep. We keep him here at the house during the summer, as a companion to the rams, so he doesn’t have to travel much. When we put the new ram out I was surprised to see Stringy trying to assert himself as the pecking order was established. He’d back up and head butt the new ram in the side, just like he was a ram and not a wether. I suspect he’s still low sheep on the totem pole but he’s got attitude!
Thank you for your support!
