Oh what a month!  I keep asking for more hours in the day, but worry that I would probably fill them up.

We have started to calve, and so far they look pretty good and healthy.  The cows are all out on leased irrigated pasture and have put some nice weight on so far this spring.  They have plenty of ponds and irrigation as well as great vegetation with the rain that we seem to be getting each week. We brought the calves from last year home from the neighbors property and they are pretty heavy with the spring grasses. The heifer will go out with the rest of the cow herd in June, and the steers will go out on another pasture to put on their "finish" fat.

Our lambs are doing wonderful and are quite curious. We have one lamb that doesn't mind the electric net fencing as he has stuck his head in to it several times and gotten tangled.  We have had to untangle him quickly, but some of the ewes just seem to hop over him and out to greener grasses. Why is the grass always greener on the other side?

We have also found that there is a ewe that sticks her nose under the bottom wire and slips right on under it. She is going to find a new home soon. 

We have been having a good time with some of the local events, serving some of our lamb and egg samples.  We have talked several people in to trying just a small piece, and they shake their head until finally giving in. Funny... they come back and ask for another piece and then sometimes another.
