Last week, we moved all of our lambs (and a few ewes) back to Elster Ranch between Grass Valley and Auburn. We first grazed our lambs at Elster Ranch last summer - with great results. Elster Ranch owner George Nolte and long-time grazing lessee Bill Boundy have put enormous effort into establishing incredible irrigated pasture. With the cool, wet spring, we're literally hip-deep in grass and clover. The lambs are having to look up to graze!
