BAAAA-- It's feeding time

You know when it is feeding time at my house.  Every time I walk out the door you hear them calling you--

BAAA Feed me.....   BAAA I am starving..... BAAA It's dinner time......

I feed my lambs morning and night.  For each meal I give them each 2 pound of grain. With the grain I also feed them a handful of quality alfalfa per lamb.  I also make sure that they have clean fresh water.

2015-- Just A Little Late

For this to be the true 4H blog...I should have started back in May when we first got the lambs.... Whoops!  


This year for our summer 4H projects, we are raising some baby lambs.  We have done this since I was in 3rd grade.  This year we will have 6 lambs.  We of course  have to give them all names.  Amy's-- Billy Bob and Betsy
Jacob's-- Dumb and Dumber
Mine-- The best for last-- Pineapple and Coconut

 There is a lot of work that goes into these projects. 
Feeding them
Mucking out their pens... eeewwww!
Working with them-- Such as teaching them to lead- standing in a good show stance and much more!
Walking to build muscle
Washing them
Shearing off all the wool
