Wild Turkey Farms News- April 22
Hope everyone has had a good week. Just when you think your out of the "keeping a lamb in the bathroom" season, well you can probably see where this is heading.... Let me introduce Phineous - and don't ask me where the name is from, Domsity and Rosty have this knack for picking obscure names. As I was walking up to the barn the other day, I heard a lamb bawling and I just assumed that it was one of the other bottle babies we've raised wanting attention. Upon a second look I realized that this lamb had just been born but there was no mother around. I grabbed him up and we proceeded to walk through the sheep until we found a new moma nursing his brother. I placed him near his moma but she only pushed him away when he would get near. Lord only knows why some sheep are like that but they occasionally decide that twins are too much trouble and pick one that they like to take care of. Anyhow, Pineous is the newest resident in our bathroom but I've got to say he's a pretty good one to have bunking in the guest lamb suite. He gets his bottle about 10pm and he's content to snooze until 6:30am or so he's a pretty good boarder. Hopefully we'll have better luck with the rest of the sheep and lil Phineous won't get a roommate.
We hate that we missed out on the markets last week due to the weather but this weekend is looking great so come on out and see us. If you want some good tasting eggs to dye for Easter we'll have our white eggs separated out for you but better hurry as supplies are limited.
Davidson Farmers Market Starts back Tomorrow (8am-noon)- Come find us in the town hall parking lot and stock up on our delicious pork, beef, chicken, and eggs.
Domisty will be back at the Salisbury Farmers Market tomorrow. 7am-noon So come stock up. To make sure you get what you want, send us an email & she'll have it ready to pick up.
