The American Lamb Board is promoting some really good recipes using lamb. This one definitely caught my attention! https://www.americanlamb.com//sweet-potato-moroccan-americ

Farm mud rooms! The most multi-purpose room in our farm house! Muddy boots and rain coats are shed here or put on. Lambs are warmed. Lots of lambs dried off in that chair and fed a dose of clostrum! Hot sheep dogs cool off on the tile floor before the next chore, and weak calves may spend the night there on the floor too. Eggs washed. Laundry done. Mail looked through. Groceries unloaded. I had to clean ours today. It really needed it! Plain and simple, but the back door to the next farm adventure!

I'm very excited to start reading a book I ordered and finally received in the mail today! "Sheep Dogs and Their Masters," published in 1938, then republished in 1946! If anyone has other Sheep Dog or border collie history books to recommend, I'd appreciate it. I'm also curious on the history of dog whistle commands, however I imagine there isn't a written book on this--at least not one I could find.

Pastures are great and my Katahdin lambs are growing well! 220 of them! Ram lambs will sell this Thursday 6/18 at Midwest Exchange Regional Stockyards in Mexico, MO. Nancy E Schrock and Amanda Schrock have top notch sales every Thursday. My lambs will be in good hands! Ewe lambs will sell next Thursday 6/25. These lambs are from a high production flock and have been well taken care of. Definitely will make buyers happy. My guard dog, Molly, from Barbara Stone is breathing in the audio background of the video. She saw me videotaping the lambs and really thought I should be patting her instead! She wears a bell so the lambs can hear her coming as she runs at top speed through the fields and woods barking at the coyotes she hears!
