Misfit Farm

This early heatwave means early shearing. The Navajo churro sheep have to be sheared twice a year. This growth is since September. We’d normally have another month before starting. Girls done. Boys to go. #

Oreo and Honeysuckle settled in well but needed some sheep friends, we had been interested in raising Navajo Churro sheep as they have quite the history being brought into the US by Coronado and subsequently adapted to the climate of the Southwest, so we found Brandi and Sedona. Brandi was a bottle baby and very friendly, Sedona from a Diné flock in AZ. Both ladies were expecting and now our flock is 6. Brandi was bred to Tarzan so baby Jane is now 2 weeks old. Sedona had a Zuzax baby boy right as temperatures plunged (of course🙄) name to be decided.

Merry Christmas!

It’s time…
