We are in the midst of a long and peaceful period with our sheep, they are fat and happy and producing gorgeous wool for Maria, and keep Red and Fate busy working with them. We will not lamb again anytime soon, or maybe not at all.It was hard, draining and difficult work.

We lost several lambs last time, and I’m not sure we have the heart to try it again. The last time, we had all kinds of trouble.

But the past year or so has been peaceful, the sheep are a  beautiful and pastoral presence on the farm, we value them. We have 10 ewes and two wethers, and they are a perfect fit for Bedlam Farm, we have plenty of grass in the summer, lots of hay in the winter.

Red and Fate and I work with the sheep every day except in raging blizzards.
