One year ago today, Blaine Fleece & Fiber was born - Black Velvet, Mikey, and Panda Bear were sheared at Lee's place, then brought home to Blaine Road and their new family!
In the last 12 months, I've learned so much about caring for sheep - their food, water, and mineral needs; the necessity for pasture/grazing management; how to clean out an abscess; how to take a sheep's temperature; what to use to keep biting flies off of them (Bronco E horse spray works like a charm - thank you to Rick and Queso Cabeza Farm for the advice!). I've been happy, scared, thrilled, excited, worried, and joyful! I've seen the fruits of their wool-growing labors in the form of beautiful fleece, and I've learned where best to take the fleece for processing (WOO HOO for Fibers First in Post Falls, ID!!)! Along with my flock, I've experienced all four seasons - and learned to appreciate the beauty and hard work that goes along with each one. And I started an Etsy shop that seems to be doing pretty alright!
Thank you so much to everyone who has read this blog - to anyone who has said, "Oh my gosh, my kids love your sheep!" - to anyone who has reached out and encouraged me in this journey! Thank you to Lee, my friend and giver of sheep! And most of all, thank you to my family who has supported and encouraged this crazy venture (and my two wonderful kids who have been out there with me, hauling hay and straw, cleaning out water tanks, mucking out the barn...the list goes on!!)! I am beyond blessed, and I can't wait for many more years of shepherding!
