It looks like sprng passed us by and summer suddenly showed up! But I am not complaining after the horrible winter we just had. I’ve been busy planting and hiking and the photo above shows the same trail as in the previous post, but on a much warmer day a few weeks ago. After severla 80 […]

You don’t need to buy lamb from New Zealand or Australia and pay a premium to boot when you can buy from local farmers here in new York. We sell whole lambs both for breeding and meat. Here are a few lamb chops ready for the grill that came from one of our lambs.

I found these two photographs when I was looking through my photo cd’s. Isn’t this palomino horse just gorgeous?
His name is Chauncey and he was such a great guy. Friendly, quiet enough for me to ride alone and for my kids to ride despite his height. He was actually much nicer than the pony we […]

Several years ago he was behind a sheep fence consisting of a few strands of polywire. (Finding the right fence is as easy as ordering furniture from a furniture catalog.) Yep that’s it. A […]

Someone suggested (tongue in cheek) over at my farm and family blog Musings at Windyridge, that I should start an LOL Sheep site similar to to LOL Cats. I would start with this submission. Any titles folks?

I have to admit, this particular ram lamb has carved out a space in my heart. He is like a puppy dog, he is that friendly and sweet. Isn’t he adorable? His name is Valentino because he was born on Valentine’s day. One of the nice things about being able to live in this part […]

Speaking of Agriculture, I came across these photos of our sheep showing days in 4H. This was 5 years ago at the Chenango County Fair. The sheep on the right, Brimble, is now our oldest gal, but back then she was a sprite and looks like she could have used some Alli for weight control. […]

New York schools are inundated with state tests. But apart from the goal of doing well on these tests, our school has some classes that many city schools do not. Otselic Valley offers FFA, the Junior FFA, Tech and Ag (agricultural) classes. FFA used to stand for Future Farmers of America and is a […]

Isn’t she cute? I love her dainty, upright ears and black spots on her head and legs. She may be a keeper depending on how her fleece turns out. I love her personality too. The lambs have been enjoying a romp in the barnyard but with the coming freezing rain (again), they will back in […]
