A new ewe we traded for this week! Her name is Jolene!
We already have a breeding pair!
And our ewe was a little jealous, so Marriah came up with the name Jolene! :)

Ethan is king of the dirt pile. The goats and sheep like to climb up there. But they weren't around for this picture. They don't like to pose for pictures as much as Ethan does!!! :)

These chickens are from chicks we hatch out from eggs that were laid here on our farm. They are mixed. But very pretty I think!
