So you know- authoritatively -

"Two shakes of a lamb's tail" - takes a little less than 1/3 second. By counting; 37 shakes in 6 seconds; one video frame at a time, and not even counting "half" shakes -

Taking our Icelandic flock

from experimental status to permanent was made possible by a Shuttleworth Foundation Flash Grant- letting us purchase "enough" appropriate new electromesh fence to make moving the sheep through the nut plantings into a 1-2 person job; instead of having to use worn out not quite right cheap fence- and 6 people. Plus- moving our wonderful genetics back to "registered" status.

May seem like a small thing- but; it's huge. The Icelandic flock here replaces 2 diesel groundskeeping mowers and 2 workers clearing invading brush out of chestnut and hickory-pecan groves; and they cut the work of the periodic hazel coppice by perhaps 1/4, or more. It pays to have them here as partners.

Our Flock-

Spring 2015; we're 2 rams, 2 wethers, 9 ewes, and 15 gorgeous lambs. We're expanding our flock; we need more sheep to mow all the nut crop ground. We don't expect to have meat lambs for a few years; but we do have more ram lambs than we can use, of course. We'll be making the best of those available for sale; non-registered prices this year. In future we plan to offer both registered and non-registered animals for sale; we think we have wonderful genetics going for folks interested in "integrated sheep". Come and SEE!
