		<title>Other spellings</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not certain why, but there are different spellings floating around.  I always use Navajo-Churro which is what the breed association uses but you might also find Navaho and Churra out in print.  And don&#8217;t forget that a &#8216;churro&#8217; can also be a doughnut-like pastry or even a sausage in places. Whichever, enjoy!!]]></description>

		<title>Lamb recipe</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Received earlier today: Hi Marian I made a leg of lamb with a piece of meat you sold us last fall, and I want to pass on the (simple) recipe I used. After defrosting the leg in the refrigerator for a day, I removed the meat and cut little 1&#8243; slits at various places and [...]]]></description>

		<title>lambing supplies</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Here is what I keep on hand for the just-in-case times that occur from year to year: In the freezer I have Merrick&#8217;s Super Lamb instant milk replacer as well as colostrum which I get from a neighboring organic dairy farm. Among other items in my lambing-time bucket I have up-to-the-shoulder OB gloves and OB [...]]]></description>

		<title>weak lambs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twin lambs that don&#8217;t seem to be thriving like the others?  If the ewe&#8217;s udder looks okay, my guess is the ewe&#8212; for some reason&#8212; isn&#8217;t making enough milk.  So I worm the ewe, give the lambs some extra lamb vitamins, and offer them &#8220;warm&#8221; sheep-milk-replacer.  By &#8216;warm&#8217; I mean neutral to my wrist.  Dried [...]]]></description>

		<title>New lambs</title>
		<description><![CDATA[All of our 2009 lambs are now born and looking great.  If the sun stays out photos will be posted on the Land &#38; Lamb web site.  Colors include brown, badgers and one &#8216;reverse badger,&#8217; totally black and several &#8216;Two Grey Hills&#8217; black.  They&#8217;re rushing around  and growing and ever so cute as they begin [...]]]></description>

		<title>Shearing nutrition</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This Spring was weather-lucky: with rain the night before (the sheep were locked inside &#38; thus dry) the weather was warming. But it is still early March so I have whole corn on hand to give them extra fat/energy. It is easy, they love it and it gives them a boost (and my neighbor sheared [...]]]></description>

		<title>No shearer and lambs due??</title>
		<description><![CDATA[With longer wool breeds (like churros) &#8216;crupping&#8217; your ewes is one solution. Take a scissors and [with someone strong holding the ewe tightly] carefully cut the dangle-y long wool near the udder. What you want to achieve is to give the newborn lamb(s) an unobstructed path to the udder. When they&#8217;re first born and staggering [...]]]></description>

		<title>Spring shots?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[My philosophy is not to bother the sheep more then needed.  Thus I vaccinate everyone each Spring with CD-T when the shearer is here (note: I shear 2-3 weeks before the lambs are due).  This provides some protection to the lambs through the placenta/milk. I vaccinate the lambs roughly at 5 weeks and 7 weeks [...]]]></description>

		<title>COLD WEATHER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[This morning was minus 16 at 7 a.m. &#8212; cold even for sheep! Knowing the forecast, I gave them some whole corn in addition to their supper-hay. Navajo-Churro sheep don&#8217;t need grain or corn but minus 16 is COLD (and tonight should be even colder) and the energy from the corn oil along with the [...]]]></description>
