Our last doe to kid for the year is prepping! 🥳🥳🥳

Patchwork Acres S Keriokie is bred to Ilene’s Rascels RR Komorebi *B and due today! She’s absolutely big as a house! And her 3F udder is astounding! I can’t wait to see her after she freshens. She is her grandmas granddaughter for sure (SG Twin Willow TIO Ballerina 2*M VEEE 90)

These are some very exciting kids with mammaries to die for behind them 🥰 Buck kids will be available. I’m not keeping sisters this year, so she may have a doe kid available also 🤞 Definitely one of my top breedings of the year here! 💕

Sad Spaniel life, the cats have stolen the new dog bed AND one of the new toys. Despite the other 4 dog beds, and couch, and 87 other toys- this is devastating. Poor Gus, sad Gus, has to share with his cats. He requests a trip to TSC for another new dog bed and 8 more toys, to make up for this level of inconvenience.

Cleaning up as the rain started- but we are officially done shearing! 🥳🥳🥳 27 sheep down to 0!

The rain has been the biggest hold up, because while the sheep have shelter they seem to enjoy napping in the rain and getting soaked so they can’t be sheared. One of the various projects this year is building a holding pen in one of the barns so we can contain them and keep them intentionally dry so we don’t drag shearing that could be done in a weekend out for 3 wks!

We shear our own, and have a crank up stand that makes life SO much easier. Plus using coats this year kept everyone so clean and easy to work on.

Coats made a world of difference in the quality of our fleeces. The only issue we had was underestimating how many coats changes we’d need, and we needed at least 1 coat size higher for most the girls. But we’ve never had such clean lovely fleeces, and 100% love using them.

Every year we tweak our setups, and try some new things. Super pleased with our quality this year, so just working on an easier time locking them up to keep them dry! They sure do love rain and mud an awful lot 🙄

Next project is skirting fleeces to sell, as I’m not hoarding all 27 the way I’d like to 🤪 Maybe just hoarding 3… 😂

Some days Gus really wishes we were more couch-sitting kinda people and less “building a chicken coop in 100 heat” kinda people 🥵😂

All the other dogs felt I was safe to work unsupervised and haven’t left the AC since morning chores 😂

One of the quickest, easiest ways to make a big difference on these brutally hot days, are shade cloths. You can get them on Amazon, greenhouse supply places, or big ones from place like Farmtek.

They are not solid like a tarp, they allow through some light (I buy the heavier % light blocking ones) but they also let in the wind and rain, so they’re cooler and more breezy, plus they don’t capture and hold moisture, so they’re much more forgiving when you put them up.

I find they last longer than tarps too, they aren’t nearly as tore up by wind storms. They are the preferred form of shade here when offered next to barns or tree cover.

Just make sure they’re high enough that bad babies can’t climb into a feeder and reach a side to pull down and try to immediately begin bouncing on top of 😑

We’re home from Michigan! 😁 So excited to introduce our first Guernsey buck!

He’s a little fellow, but hopefully he’ll up for work this fall. I’m still going to try AI for Beatrice & Beautiful, with him as my backup. FF does are notoriously hard to AI, and next year I’ll have Brigid and Orla to breed as FF also. So I was quite excited to find this little guy, and so close I could even get him myself!

I was on his maternal granddams waitlist this year, so quite tickled to find a grandson practically in my own backyard 😁

Kidding season 2026 is getting exciting!

The #1 best thing about mulching with waste wool (bellies, britch, neck/dirty bits) is your garden smells like lanolin after a rain 🥰🥰🥰
