purplequeenvt - Lambs 2017

[NH homesteader]

Haha! Same in NH. I am within a half hour of VT and I do feel like it's a bigger deal over there. But the people who want farm fresh food would shudder at watching us butcher meat on our farm. And our chickens eat bugs. Eww they say!

I found this on Facebook the other day. I think it is an excellent illustration of our society's detachment from food.


There is a large population of people in my area of VT that are all like "look at me! I'm eating only organic and local foods" and yet they still haven't a clue what actually goes into getting the animal/vegetable/mineral/whatever from the farm and onto their plate.

You mean the ones that insist the hens laying their free range eggs only eat vegetarian feed??

Crikey, those are cute lambs.

I both look forward to and have a 'worry moment' about the month of March when most of my lambs are due.

Give them a cuddle for me.

Looks like you are going to be posting a LOT of lamb pics!

Not a great start to the 2017 lambs this afternoon. Dead triplets. They'd been dead a few days and were all tangled up. It took a while to get them all out. Mom seems to be ok.

Sorry to hear you are having a ruff start to lambing, hope the rest are healthy!

 

[NH homesteader]

Ugh, sorry for such a bad start

Sorry for your losses. Hope the remaining ewes do better for you.

 

[Mike CHS]

So sorry for this. Hope everything from here on out goes perfectly.

sorry to hear, hope the ewe is okay
