A little bit more

I'm going to try to post at least once a week or more. It's been busy at the farm since my first post.  Fluffy Girl had her 9th birthday, Easter, and a few other things kept us hopping! I'll probably break them into a few different posts.

We had some leading lessons the other day featuring 2 of the future show girls. These are 2 of the 4 yearlings we will be showing.

 This is Dolly. She's a nice single ewe lamb from a first timer. 

 This is Loretta. She's half of a set of twin ewes from an older ewe. 

Leading lessons went even better than I had hoped. They just need a bit more confidence.  In 4H you can only show lambs or yearlings.  Shetland sheep show in halter.  

 Meet Shelby. She's our collie who did her best to help but really want much.  LOL! Shelby enjoys kissing sheep.  I would like to test her with a group to see how much instinct she actually has.  I hope to give this a try once we get our fence finished to be able to pasture the sheep rather than pens. 

Intro To The Farm!

Welcome to Stay Fluffed Farm. We are a small farm in Missouri that raises registered Shetland sheep and silkie chickens.  We're home to a few other chickens, a few angora rabbits and our pets.  Fluffy Mamma, also known as me, enjoys processing & spinning wool into yarn & crocheting it into beautiful finished objects. Fluffy Girl is showing our sheep & silkies in her first year of 4H! Camo Dad, well . . . enough said.  LOL, just kidding!  Camo Dad helps out wherever needed.

I hope this blog helps open up our area of Missouri to the wonder of fiber arts & farm life,  even if we are a small farm. We garden & hunt to enrich our meals. We enjoy raising some of our own meat as well. We are blessed that family nearby owns a larger family farm that houses our horses as well as some dairy goats.

Later posts will take us further into the details but i would welcome ANY questions you, the reader, might have!
