With a whistle and a call out, our flock rush from their night paddocks, meeting their human at the gate and move into their paddock for the day ๐ฅฐ
Sporting their fresh haircuts post shearing last week โ๏ธ๐โโ๏ธ
โก๏ธ Did you know our youngest in our flock is Arthur, this seasons lamb. When he grows up, he wants to be a Ram who will have a very important job ๐คฃ๐
โก๏ธ Our oldest sheep is Lainie, at the age of 8! She is an absolute sweetheart, the real grandma of the flock. She is receiving special attention to support the natural downfalls of aging ๐ต๐ต
Some people say that sheep are not intelligentโฆ
We disagree !
Each and every sheep here with us has their own personality and these guys, will be the first to steal your food container from your hands if you feed them with it ! ๐คฃ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐ฅ
We have a variety of cross breeds and purebred sheep - Romney, Suffolk, Dorper, English Leicheister, Valais X, East Friesian, Lacaune ๐ฅฐ๐๐ฅฐ

Progress #1:
How about we start with some NEW CONCRETE around the FRONT ENTRANCE !

What does this mean?
โก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - If construction is too loud and causing concern to our horses, we may not be able to offer rides to ensure the safety of everyone. If we are good to go, rides will take place in the Arena. We appreciate your understanding on this.
โก ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ - Our lead rein rides will move into the Arena (no construction taking place on weekends)
๐ฌ Watch our quick video to see where and how this will take place
