A little late in posting but we had a great week at The Big E week one! A few photo highlights below, we are very happy how with far both our Shropshire and Southdown Flocks have come. Being so consistent with almost all home bred sheep has been a goal for years. Very proud of how hard both kids worked to get all 21 shown in 3 days!

Thank you to KAK Images for the great photos more can be seen at https://kakimages.smugmug.com

Addisen is all settled in at the All American Junior Sheep Show in Madison Wiconson with 14 sheep including a couple of the new Oxfords!

Oliver made a really tough decision to stay home and play South Windsor Little Leauge All Stars, an opportunity he may never get again. We will miss him in Wisconsin but his sister has his Southdowns covered and wishing his team the best in the couple games we will miss.

Super proud of both kids and giving a 100% to what they love doing!
