Farm Hands Almanac Entry - occasional musings from the Farm Hand
A Long Day; A Sick Ewe - March 9, 2010 I can tell spring is near because the days are getting longer. They are filled with more work and “to-do’s”. Great for feeling productive and the sense of getting things accomplished...hard on the body. Today was a long day. One of our favorite ewes; #264 went ill. It appears she has pregnancy toxemia. With a month and change away from lambing; the lambs inside the ewes take ALL the ewe has to give. Particularly if there are demanding twins or triplets. Sometimes; this happens at the expense of the ewe. Called the sheep vet out and we pumped her full of uber antibiotics; steroids, poly glycol, Vitamin B, and Calcium.....click here to read more and see more photos.
The farm is currently home to Cleveland Bay Horses, a flock of Corriedale sheep, a very large brood of chickens, a tribe of Spanish Goats, a single nigeran dwarf goat, 6 dogs, and a drift of pigs which includes Berkshires and Large Black Hogs. We work the farm and care for all the animals ourselves as a small human family of four. Often times the dog number more than doubles when we have a litter of pups we are looking after. Who knows what the number will jump to once little piglets begin to arrive!


Now, just about 8 years later, we are pleased with the strides and accomplishments we have made with the breed and the friendships we have developed with those who solidified our interest and have encouraged us along the way. Now home to eight (8) pure bred Cleveland Bay Horses (more in the spring once foals arrive), two (2) Thoroughbred mares and two (2) Cleveland Bay Sport horses we are committed to pursuing our commitment to help preserve this critically endangered breed.
