Thanks to our apprentice, Paul, and his family, I didn't need to be present at the ranch much today! I spoke at the Nevada Small Farm Conference in Fallon this afternoon. On the way there, I dropped off a small load of ewes at Wolfpack Meats in Reno - we'll have sausage soon!
We had 3 sets of twins and two single lambs today. Our lambing percentage has improved from last year - we're at close to 140%. I expect this number to increase over the next several weeks.
Tomorrow, we're purchasing 130 yearling ewes for our grazing contract in Rocklin - looks like another busy weekend!
