Join the Waitlist for 2024 Dorper Lambs!
Hi Friends,
Here is a look behind the scenes for May at Harmony Farms! The Dorper Dream Flock WINNER was announced (congrats to Lucy Rickard!). Regarding the livestock sale on May 30th: some of you wondered why I did not send an email about the lambs on sale day. My spring lambs were all spoken for through my website within a few minutes. I did not want to frustrate you by sending you an email with links to sold out lambs.
If you missed my spring lamb availability, I should have a few more to offer this fall; including some more mature, breeding-ready rams for October joining! In the meantime, check out the Shepherdess Breeder Directory for farms near you!
This 5 month old grass (and milk) only ram lamb is starting to dwarf his mom!
It was such a pleasure it was to meet so many of you at the Sunny Hill Flower Farm Meet and Greet! I loved putting faces to names, hearing your stories, and talking small-scale farming/ranching. Such a pick-me-up! THANK YOU!!
I made a change this year that I am so happy about. I usually lamb in March and April. This year I lambed most of my flock in February. This allowed my lambs to put weight on before the late spring parasite bloom. As a result, they are more naturally resisting parasites and growing so well this year!
I rotate my sheep using 2 strands of poly-tape. Using poly-tape over electric netting requires that I use a 12Joule AC (AC means a wall-unit, not a solar) charger. You can see the burn-line underneath my poly-tape here!
I hope you enjoyed this update! Thank you for your support :).
