We have contacted this Year's 2024 B2B Lamb Lottery Winner and are waiting to hear back. We wanted to shout out to Bike-to-Barner Eva (Age 8 ) who asked if she can have a live one if she wins! Eva - have your family contact us and we will see what we can do for you!!! If you are a non-winner who asked that we not contact you, don't worry - we will not bug you! We will also be selling lamb and farm produce down at Tower Gardens farmstand until we run out.

Our boy Mu (Mukow) went off to fresh pastures in Idaho yesterday. He will be missed - he was a very popular boy during the Missoula Marathon. He was by all reports a good boy the whole way then walked his new pasture to see "watsup". His twin Morty is still available. We don't get many grays but he is a nice one. We did not know that one of them (Dam or Sire) even carried gray. Depending upon how badly you want him we may shear him first as gray is very popular locally for a natural wool colour.

Well it's a year later than we hoped but we have the sheep on the west pasture finally. And they are very happy about it!

Two more ram lambs born on time to the day!!! Although it would have been nice if she hadn't waited until 1 in the morning. A couple of very healthy 10 lb-ers! Mamma Hekkla taking good care of her boys.

Earliest ever lambing for us! Midnight picked a nice day to give us a couple of beautiful healthy ram lambs! Her ram lambs have always been something special but she isn't recovering from lambing the way she used to do this will be her last set for us. She's been an awesome ewe and a great mother and we are so lucky to have a lot of her line on the property.

Breaking news: Oregon State Veterinarian Dr. Ryan Scholz has issued an animal import permit to Santa Claus and his nine reindeer.

The permit grants all nine reindeer entrance to Oregon and access to good children everywhere. The permit is valid through December 25, 2023.

“After thorough examinations, including hoof prints and antler selfies, I’m pleased to declare all nine of these reindeer fit to fly,” said Dr. Scholz. “We have confirmed that each reindeer’s jingle bells are in working order, and that Rudolph’s navigational illumination capabilities remain intact.”

Oregonians expecting a visit from Mr. Claus are encouraged to hang their stockings with care.
