Saturday morning, the CODERLAMBIAN shepherds headed out with their sheep to the Clark County event center for weigh-in.
"Weigh-in" is the beginning of a process to make sure that our sheep are getting proper nourishment and gaining weight. We weigh our sheep here and then also when we arrive at the fair.
All of the lambs weighed more than they have in the past. So if you buy one of our lambs this year, you're bound to get a lot of meat. :)

Each of our sheep now need to gain about 24 pounds before the fair. That's about 0.4lbs per day!
Here is the minimum weight each of our lambs need to be by fair:
- Clydesdale - 126lbs.
- Meriwether - 123lbs.
- Mauritia - 106lbs.
- RiverEwe - 104lbs.
- Lewe-Lewe - 108lbs.
- Surely - 103lbs.
Howdy Coderlambian shepherds!
ReplyDeleteWow Grace, looks like Meriwether is having loads of fun. ;)
(We had some goats that would refuse to come and flop over when they were being obstinate. Is that what your lamb is doing?)
Glad ya'll got some good sized sheep this year! So, the bigger they are, the more they'll go for at auction?
Hopefully see you all Saturday! :)
