The horses are well, We are hoping for fruit this year,The sheep are fine in their new pen. Ma Goose leading the others around the orchard. Mom's snowball bush. The rooster taking part of his harem for a stroll. Snowball keeping watch and our newest truck.

Newest additions

We decided to get into the sheep business in order to revamp our pastures. (of course we found out later TCID is not sending water until July. May not be a pasture to save by then.)

The top photo has Utoo in front, with McKenzie behind her and Balli in the rear.
Next photo is McKenzie and Balli. McKenzie is the shyest and I could not get her alone.








This next shot is Utoo.
















The last two are Balli. I wanted a ram with white markings to distinguish our Desert Sierra bred Soays.
