Random Farm Photos

This post is just what the title says.

Three chickens roosting on white plywood walls in the barn.

Chickens roosting in the barn tonight.

Four sheep skulls on the concrete, some with horn cases that need to be attached.

Shearing Day is Saturday and I decided to try and have the skulls ready to put out for sale. This is a work in progress. Others will be offered for sale as DIY projects because they are not as clean.

Stack of ten colorful baby blankets in pinks, purple, and yellow.

I just finished a warp with ten baby blankets. My niece will get first choice of these, because she wants a gift for a friend. Then they will be offered for sale.

Speaking of weaving, I finished these scarves last week. These are woven using Art Fiber Frenzy yarn, in the style of the class I teach, Wild and Craze Weaving–Breaking the Rules.

Twelve farm photos on one page with the title "winners of the 2025 photo contest" by California Farm Bureau.

I entered a photo on the last day the Farm Bureau called for entries. Mine was selected! You can probably figure out which is mine.

This photo shows one reason coated fleeces are priced higher. Not only do they need changing at 4 to 5 times each year, they also require constant vigilance. I took this photo a few nights ago when doing chores.

Sheep coat with a tear and the leg strap pulled through the hole.

I don’t know how the leg strap got through this hole.

Jacob ewe wearing a coat to protect the fleece.

Fortunately the ewe wasn’t injured and this hole won’t be too difficult to fix. I had to just get through four more days until shearing.

Five spotted sheepskins.

The last batch of sheepskins came back. These are available in the shop and are listed on the website.
