THE SHEEP

THIS PICTURE GALLERY SHOWS SOME OF OUR PRAIRIE ISLAND SHEEP. SINCE 2003, WE HAVE RAISED COLUMBIA SEED STOCK AND SOLD COLUMBIA EWE AND RAM LAMBS AND YEARLINGS. IN 2012 WE ADDED A TEXEL SIRE LINE FOR TERMINAL MARKET LAMB PRODUCTION. THESE HYBRID LAMBS HAVE AN IMPRESSIVE RATE OF GAIN AND ALLOW US TO MARKET EARLY. WHILE CONTINUING TO SELL REGISTERED COLUMBIA SHEEP, WE ALSO SELL SELECT RAM LAMBS FROM AMONG THE HYBRIDS FOR USE AS TERMINAL SIRES.

ALTHOUGH THE ROUTINES OF WINTER FEEDING, LAMBING, AND MARKETING ARE SERIOUS, WE ALWAYS HAVE TIME TO LAUGH AT FUNNY MOMENTS, AS WHEN NEWLY WEANED LAMBS INVADE OUR SUNFLOWERS.
