June 2009

Well it looks like summer has finally arrived in Prince Edward Island. It has been chaotic around the farm as per usual. We had about 25 lambs arrive (January/February) and got to work breeding them all back in late April for lambs this fall.
 
As the snow melted, we were reminded that we need to get the tarp pulled over the Coverall. Unfortunately, it is the middle of June and we still don’t have the cover on but it is all in the works. The ground is laid for the horse/sheep barn and the post should be sunk within the next couple weeks.
 
So, along with 58 ewes due in October we have six mares bred for 2010... I know we must be crazy, as if we don’t have enough critters already. Here’s what we have cooking....

We are hoping for a fun-filled summer of cattle penning and hoping to squeeze in the odd Miniature Horse show and maybe even a gymkhana show.
 
My sister, Jessica, is here for the summer before she makes her big move to Saskatoon, SK to start her Master’s/PhD program. The girls are tickled pink to have her here and Glenn and I are pretty happy to have a reliable penning partner!
