Whew! It has been a long hot summer and I am glad that the weather has become cooler. It is much easier to add a sweater or a jacket than it is to sit and sweat it out in the hot sun on Saturdays at Farmers' Market. Just two more Saturdays at Fair Oaks Mall from 9a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Then we have Hackman's Market, The Street Fair in downtown Columbus, and St. Mary's Christmas Bazaar in North Vernon. That will wrap it up for the season.
I have been playing a lot with my Corgi, Michaela, and have found her to be relentless when she wants to play. Don't believe me? Then take a look at the video. The video was taken after she had already hassled me 5 other times and we played. She doesn't get tired as easily as I do. She is still a puppy. I have many more years of fun ahead!
I still have Cormo/Shetland/Finn cross sheep and natural colored Shetland/Finn sheep for sale. I don't have the money to feed them this winter and I hope I can get them sold. My prices are more than reasonable and these animals produce wonderful fleeces that I am going to miss. I have about 10 natural colored that have to die for fleeces.
Well, tomorrow is Farmers' Market so I need to move on for the evening. I hope you enjoy the video. Feedback is always great.
I have hesitated long enough. I have a beautiful 4 year old Border/Bluefaced Leicester ram that handles well on a halter. I can no longer use beautiful Galahad because I want to keep 2 of his beautiful daughters. Their fleeces are so luxurious and fine that I prefer to keep them and look for a new ram. I am up to 5 ewes now, all BL/BFL X. If you are reading this and have a friend with sheep, I would really like to trade with another small breeder like I am. Galahad throws beautiful lambs, but I cannot breed him to his daughters. Pictures are forthcoming. Galahad is white and very broad across the back. As a yearling he had beautiful pencil curls. His fleece is still just as gorgeous now as then. With all the rain we are getting on a daily basis, it is also snowy white.
Do not hesitate to respond to this if you know someone who might trade me. It would be a travesty for Galahad to become freezer fodder.
