We had been feeling a bit pressured to keep up with all of the sheep. Feed and hay bills can be a bit intimidating when you begin to get too many sheep. Then there is shearing and de worming and hoof trimming. They are a pleasure but the list goes on and on. We had a visit from a neighbor this last summer. Gina loves to spin and was looking to start her own flock. We were offering Esther and Moriah for sale. Gina was excited and wanted to take them home after she was able to get her fences up. We took Esther and her lambs over in the truck with the topper. Gina brought her Jeep to get Moriah a couple of days later.
Icelandics are easily transportable in a Jeep. Moriah and her lamb seemed right at home.
I was sorry to see them go. Cutting back is never easy.
Everyone is happy. Esther is the escape artist at her new farm too. The boys are now wethers. Plenty of weeds, small trees and leaves to eat. We can visit since they are right down the road. Life goes on.
Much Love and Prayers from Mainely Ewes Farm
