By Matt Olberding

Nebraska is one of seven states where people have been sickened by salmonella linked to eggs.

As of Friday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention had identified 79 illnesses nationwide linked to organic and cage-free brown eggs that were distributed at Walmarts and a number of smaller stores.

Most of the illnesses are in California, but a few others, including two in Nebraska, are spread out over six other states. Twenty-one people so far have been hospitalized, but no one has died.

Video: Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

In this episode, we’re sorting ewes into their breeding groups and introducing them to unrelated rams. Moving rams between barns always comes with challenges, but once the boys meet their ewes, everyone was eager to settle in!

We also welcome back a returning customer who purchased a Suffolk ram from us last year. This season, she chose a Dorset cross ram, now named Benny, to strengthen her flock’s genetics. It’s always rewarding to see repeat customers who value the quality of our breeding stock.

Arnie then tours the crop fields as harvest season approaches. Despite drought conditions this summer, the crops are looking surprisingly good. We close the day with evening feedings and one last look at the rams with their new breeding groups.

?? Join us daily for life on a working sheep farm, from flock management and breeding strategies to crops, chores, and the everyday rhythm of farm life.
