Counting Our Blessings: Cornell Small Farms Quarterly

Back in March, I received an email from the Cornell Small Farms program asking for submissions for the summer  issue of the Small Farms Quarterly publication, specifically regarding the "New Farmer" section. I thought about this for a while, and what I could say to educate and promote my breed. I decided it would be fun to put together an article about the things I've learned raising my Lincoln sheep. I enlisted the help of Dave Popielinski, a long-time friend who I purchased my first sheep from (way back in 7th grade!), and together we came up with a list of 8 lessons we've learned. We entitled it: Counting our Blessings: Lessons Learned from Raising Heritage Lincoln Longwool Sheep.

Please check out the article at: http://smallfarms.cornell.edu/2013/07/01/counting-our-blessings/ We'd love to hear your feedback! (There's also an article this issue on how to build panels, jugs and creep feeders for sheep barns)

A big thanks to Veronica and Leah for their editing help.
