(Left) Club members painting. I am on the far end. (right) Project completed. We also picked up trash along the rural roadside ditches. The pile of trash in front of the building was ready to place in recycle building.
Work Experiences Part of my income was from selling my market lambs at the Hancock County Fair Livestock Sale. The harder we work, the more we gain! (shown above) Starting our exercise program with the lambs. My sister and I raised, and trained the lambs from day one. Part of the training included exercise to build muscle and maintain body condition. (shown above) We walk the lambs behind the golf cart down a long lane surrounded by corn. We strive for a low fat, high quality, delicious product for the consumer. (shown above) The lambs enjoy this as much as we do, and have lots of fun running back home. They become very tame the more we train them. The final product of all of our work with the lambs during the summer months. This is one of my lambs coming out of the sale ring. This picture was taken in the sale ring. During the summer months one of my jobs on the farm includes baling hay & straw. There is physical work involved of unloading the wagon. Friends, family and our Border Collie dog, Missy offer lots of help! We are stacking the straw in the hay mow, where the temperatures can reach well over 100 degrees! One of the baby lambs that just received his first immunization shots. He is only one day old and is resting in the lambing pen with his mother. Dad bringing the wagon to the elevator with Grandpa s restored antique tractor. My family restored this tractor several years ago, and was used in the Vanlue Festival parade winning first place! Ewes ready for breeding season. Part of my job is to sort animals for certain pedigree characteristics, and help synchronize the ewe s cycle to ease the burden during breeding & lambing season. Lambing is January-March.
