Bobbie Jean Booth Becomes an Accidental Farmer
“I got involved with sheep and farming purely by accident. Aside from a semester Work Study program at UVM dairy, I had no background in farming and no interest in sheep. Then, one cold February while I was farmsitting, 6 out of 8 of the ewes on the farm decided to give birth. I knew nothing about shepherding except for the basics of care while the farmer was gone, and had to dive right into a lambing season completely green. All sorts of lambing issues and farming
challenges came up and I had to just figure it all out. I had help from lots of non-farmer friends and a few matter-of-fact books on lambing and sheep health.
I also spent a lot of time on the phone getting advice from the farm owner who was a few thousand miles away. By the time the 10 days were over, I had fallen
in love with sheep and now have a small flock of my own.”
