Tunis Show Highlights

This was the first time the Tunis Association sponsored a fleece show at the Wooster show-sale. Here is a short video of the judge's comments on his placings of the ewe fleece class.

Llama shearing time

All four llamas have been sheared now. That should be a lot more comfortable for them. They are such funny animals.

They weren't amused by the whole procedure... here is "Spot" getting clipped this afternoon.

I think "Junior" looks cute in his llama-pajamas.

His sister "Blaze" was not at all happy. Below is a photo of her showing us what she is going to spit at us if we don't leave her alone. But she got over it real fast.

Well, kinda like a "grandbaby"

It's always nice to hear from our previous buyers. This came today:

I purchased Unicorners Mime in Rhyme from you several years ago. Just wanted to tell you that she is still here and we still love her. Mime had her first foal this year, a little filly that looks almost exactly like her mom! We couldn't be more pleased. I've attached a picture of them. Just wanted to say thanks again.

Donkey Show Today

We visited friends today at a donkey and mule show in Belton, Texas, about 4o miles south of us.

We enjoyed walking around and taking some photos. There were some beautiful long ears there.

But that braying! That must take some getting used to!

Bottle baby

HURRY UP WITH MY BOTTLE!

Not a lot happening around the farm. I'm still bottle-feeding our last Tunis lamb. His mom just doesn't produce enough milk for him so we supplement him several times a day. We named him... Trouble.But isn't he adorable. It really is nice to have a bottle baby, and since he lives with his mom he isn't totally dependent on us.
