Luvmypets Journal: A New Season

Our ram was a katahdinX and my third ewe was a dorper. I like the breed but I dont really want a meat breed. I know that they have other purposes, but most people I have talked to ask us we would eat them soo. I have decided to go for a wooly breed! Today me and my mom went to this store called "The Spinnery" I loved it, the women was so nice. We got a book that documents over 100 breeds of wooly sheep, and I learned how to make Roving. Also me and my mom signed up for a 4 wk carding and spinning class in august. Now that I know how to make roving, I can start to learn how to do stuff with the alpaca/sheep fleeces from last year. I know I have a long road ahead of me, but I am excited. My goal is to eventually be able to knit different products that I can eventually sell and put the money towards new animals. Pretty ambitious I know, but it's something I've been wanting to learn how to do forever. We also got some sheep cheese which is soo good! Overall we had a great day

Just stopped at a greenhouse and I got a bunch of plants to do a nice garden this year. I got, tomatoes, eggplants, peppers, squash, cucumber, honeydew, cantaloupe, and a bunch of different herbs. I haven't done a garden in a year. But two years ago I had a very successful garden with more tomatoes and peppers than I knew what to do with. Cant wait to get these plants in the ground

So I got the peppers and the eggplants in the ground..yay! Also we finally got the thing needed to band little Ras..but of course he is to old. We will get the vet out soon to castrate and dock him. My dad wants to keep him as a ram but Im not letting his sweet and friendly personality turn into ramming in the future. Anyways heres some pics from yesterday. Everyone has been very frisky lately!

Cute.

I think its about time for new pictures

Everyone is happy and healthy, though the heat has been tough on them. I hosed down the alpacas who loved it, and the sheep got some to(slightly against their will) But in the end it helped them.

You won't know what to do with a new phone. I finally upgraded this year to a real phone, not a throw away.... HUGE difference
