After several years of planning and over 30 years of waiting to return to my shepherding roots, I picked up the new additions to the “family” on Sunday April 15th in the nearby town of Derry.  I now have two ewe lambs at the place.  They are twins, 75% Katahdin and 25% Suffolk.  They were born on January 29, 2012 and as of April 14th, weigh 60 and 65 lbs respectively.  The next phase is to obtain a full Katahdin ram lamb.  I’m hoping the twins will be of breeding size by September so, if all goes well, we can have some newborns next February.

Buddy Todd and his son came over from Greensburg to offer much-needed help unloading on Sunday. Both I and the torn ligaments in my shoulder thank you guys!
