At Rancho Relaxo Farm, tending to our flock of sheep is more than just a duty; it's a labor of love. Ensuring the well-being of our sheep is a year-round commitment, and every effort is made to prioritize their happiness and health without compromise. Our approach is meticulous, with the entire flock receiving top-tier hay consistently, while pregnant and nursing ewes receive specialized nutrition to prevent potential health issues like pregnancy toxemia or hypocalcemia. Nursing ewes and their lambs are afforded a diet of dairy-grade alfalfa and premium pellets to support maternal health and robust lamb growth. Clean water and essential minerals are always accessible. We believe in fostering strong maternal bonds, allowing lambs to stay with their mothers longer to minimize stress and mitigate the risk of mastitis during weaning. Deworming is done sparingly to thwart the development of antiparasitic resistance. Regular vaccinations are administered annually, ensuring the flock's overall health, with lambs departing with a minimum of two CDT shots. Shearing occurs biannually, accompanied by routine hoof trimsVigilant observation ensures early detection of any potential health concerns, promptly addressed either by our attentive care or through consultation with our trusted veterinarian, Mary Anne, at Goldendale Veterinary Clinic.
