Tuesday EWESday: Show Me Some Leg!

This is a wonderful easy recipe that you all should try. If you have enjoyed a lamb sandwich at the Ohio State Fair this is the same recipe they use at the Ohio Sheep Improvement Association booth in the Taste of Ohio Cafe.

Fun Sheep Fact: There are 3,400 sheep farms in Ohio with 129,000 sheep and lambs. Ohio ranks 13th in the production of sheep and lambs and is the largest sheep-producing state east of the Mississippi. There is a

sheep farm in every Ohio county.

Tuesday EWESday!

Tuesday EWESday is a new segment of my blog I want to dedicate to EWE! Anything goes if it has to do with sheep. I have been raising sheep for a long time. I hope to share some fun and even educational things about our great industry, as well as some things I have encountered along my way.

Did you know that a Ewe is a female sheep?

February is “Lamb is for Lovers Month!”
This recipe is one that my grandma passed on to me and we have served at many parties. It is simple and easy which are important for busy people on the go. My kids love to help mix up the sauce too!

BBQ Lamb

1 American Lamb Shoulder roast (approx. 5lbs)
1 cup chicken stock

First Time Swimming

Campbell and Daddy getting ready to head to the pool. Cousin Brynn is letting her borrow her pink coverup.

She was not scared at all. She got splashing as soon as she got in.
I put her completly under and it did not seem to be a problem. I hope she is a little fish this summer.
This is after pool time. We let her swim for about 15 minutes two times. She would have kept going but bedtime called.
