I was reliving my lambing experiences of early 1980s, when I worked on a ranch in Colorado. Lambs are so precious and funny how they dance and race around in groups, jumping and twisting. Thanks for this wonderful insight as to your farming chores. These are the best stories for me!!
Thanks Kathleen. I will try to post some videos of exactly that. Yesterday we watched three lambs romping on a manure pile, but the light was waning. But soon there will be 25 or more running together, God willing! Good stuff for videos in Vermont.....
So glad to hear you do late season freshening, I subscribe to the likes of Pharo cattle company philosophies and constantly shake my head at farmers/ranchers that calve in the ‘middle of winter’ and all the problems that go along with it, the more you can work with nature the easier everything works for you
We have struggled with some winter calving but it wasn't planned. Bought a young bull who wasn't quite ready, and it set back our breeding schedule. Back on track now.... :)
