Sheep














We started out with one ewe lamb name Barbie for Josie to show.
Then learned that sheep don't like to be alone.
So, we got Barbie a friend we named Bella. That was several years ago, Josie really enjoyed working with them and showing...so we all got involved.
David got the "sheep bug" and is now very involved. Barbie & Bella
both had twins last year. We kept 2 more ewe lambs-Tulip & Mariposa. Now, with all these ewes (David got one named Meggie for Christmas) we had to have a Ram. So, we are in partnership with several others and Wally the Ram has been here on the farm since October. Our partnership is called Black Sheep Club Lambs and we'd love to set everyone up with a good show lamb!
With more youth becoming involved, David and our Livestock Agent and good friend Brad Johnson started a Junior Sheparding Club. They meet monthly here at the house.
Needless to say we don't do things half way. That is why it is the Funny Farm!

If all goes as planned, we'll have babies beginning in a few weeks.
