Good to see you check in. Stag and Russel look great.
LOVE your mineral feeder. I've been thinking about doing something similar. Need to figure out which minerals and where to get them.
Dolly looks like a sweetie - and you're milking her too - wow! I got a new ewe and lamb a few weeks ago - talk about a docked tail - they don't even have stubs!

We ordered a starter kit from Little Avalon Farm. Safe to use with sheep and goats, you get one pound of each mineral and salt. In the future we plan to buy in bulk from Free Choice Enterprises those come in 25# bags. There’s many ways of putting these out for them, some people have a permanent location for them and when their animals come in to the barn they eat out of them from plastic containers, we opted for this feeder because we move our sheep every 2-3 days and we don’t have a barn they go into daily. Here is the link to both sites for the minerals

https://littleavalonfarm.com/ go to the Menu and select mineral buffet and it will take you to the minerals.

https://freechoiceminerals.com/ This is a higher cost up front but worth it to not have to reorder so often.


I’m not milking Dolly just yet, that’s what she was producing while she was being milked by her previous owners next time she lambs I will milk her. Trying to establish a relationship with her and get a milk stand first. I’m very excited.

I dislike those short, short docks

Same, it’s unnecessary for Katahdin sheep anyway I couldn’t do it to any animals though.

Sheep milk makes great cheese

Goats here. I drink raw & great cheeses yogurts, buttermilk, etc.

Yes! Great cheese, soap and tallow! I can’t wait!

I love goat cheese, but I won’t ever have goats sheep are enough for me. I still purchase goat items from our local raw dairy farm though, maybe in the future I can barter with someone in my area.

I'd barter with another in my area, if there was one!! I do eggs most all yr in exchange for figs
