This is Harold, a ram lamb I helped my grandparents bottle feed. The poor little guy and his brother got rejected by their mom. Just look at that little face!

Aww, I raised a few bottle lambs. They are the friendliest critters, and make nice pets.

Meet Frosty, she is a 3 month old commercial doe. Frosty was picked up at a Wendy’s and she always looks like she dipped her nose in a chocolate frosty!

Meet Boots! He is my 2024-2025 market lamb!! We have been working every day to make him the best lamb

 

[Show Sebright]

Meet Bullseye! He was my 2023-2024 market lamb project! I so proud of everything we accomplished together!

 

[Show Sebright]

Meet Lainey! She is a yearling commercial doe I trained. I had a 2 week deadline before out show and we started from scratch. I am proud to say that even the breeder was surprised I was able to get that doe walking and looking spectacular in the ring.
