We picked up 53 older ewes from Richard Hamilton in Dixon today. We hope to get 1 or 2 crops of lambs out of these sheep, and they'll help us fill our grazing contracts this summer.
The Hamiltons have been in business for many years, and are innovators in the sheep business. Every time I talk with Richard, I learn something.
As we try to grow our business, we're constantly trying to learn from others and from our own mistakes. Learning from an established producer like the Hamiltons is a privilege!
