Dorper Sheep Pasture Lambing in the Middle of Night... Do we have twins!?!?
Переглядів 85Рік тому
Our 2nd year of lambing on our homestead! A night of little sleep, checking up on a previously troublesome ewe. She gives birth on a cool night out on pasture. Previous year she prolapsed, hoping for a smoother experience this year with this girl! We have been crossing our fingers for more baby girls as we wish to grow our flock... Thanks for watching!

This morning I take you along on a quick paddock move before leaving to work my day job. I have had to begin moving the sheep early, rather than in the evenings due to the lack of daylight. We are now keeping them in each paddock for 4 days. Moving fencing on the weekends to accommodate a week's worth of grazing has been valuable! Thanks for watching!

    We purchased our Waterford Stanley brand new February 2007 from Lehman’s Hardware in Kidron, OH. Best investment we have ever made. Heats our entire home, besides cooking and baking our meals. Ours is deep dark green stove with warming oven and two side shelves. When we have passed our hope is our children will pass our rural home and Irish cook stove to one of our grandchildren.

      @rosefamilyhomestead 9 місяців тому

      Yes it drafts excellent. No smoke at all when opening the door. 6" stove pipe straight up and out the roof! Single wall pipe on the interior of course, and then triple wall exterior. I had read an article regarding the importance of triple wall exterior, it keeps the pipe insulated and holds the temperature. Supposedly a cooling outside pipe will hinder draft results. Previously I thought the triple wall was just to help prevent from rusting out but apparently there is more to it....

    Hello from our working farm in Central Lakes Region New Hampshire. Your choice of an Irish Stanley was a good one. I recommend that stove to anyone who is tight on floor space and it does a great job for cooking and heating. I restored our great uncle's 1930 Home Comfort kitchen wood stove. Its a beauty and heats 1,000 square feet. We built our 2016 home and designed the kitchen around that stove. I find it amazing you feel you need to justify having a cook stove. We built our house to be both on and off-grid. New Hampshire can be harsh in the winter. We lose power and our wood stove is a Godsend. Being a farm , we log and have plenty of firewood. We like the 1940s lifestyle ~ Diane

    Great video. My mother used a wood cook stove for close to 25 years. She prepared three meals a day for a family of 14. She was more than happy to begin using an electric stove. She commented it was easy to cook with stove. However, it was a skill to be mastered to bake with a wood burning stove.
