Happy Mothers' day

It's been a very hectic time here but I was able to get some pictures this morning of the lambs and moms in the paddock.

The boys were not to be missed out of course looking handsome.

Little Diana is doing much better, the vet thinks she was just squished up from being a triplet and after a few days she straightened out and is running around with the best of them. She's quite a beauty and the only moorit ewe lamb I have still for sale.

Derry is so much bigger than the others being those few weeks older.

This is Winston smelling something good. He's a fun guy and very handsome. His fleece is lovely and soft.

As is his brother Wilburs', however Wilbur does not seem to be growing any horns. He is the same size as his brother who has horn buds but this is what his look like. Maybe half polled? I'm not sure, time will tell. He is a very nice ram wither way and will make a nice flock sire for someone.

And finally this is Marcus now 11 weeks old and some of his toys.

More lamb pictures in the next few days. I have finished college for the summer and am now on vacation! I'm off to the NH sheep and wool festival for the day. Should be fun.

Even more fun, end of lambing.

Gypsy had her lambs on Thursday evening. Triplet ewe lambs. That brings the closing tally to 5 ewes and 4 rams. Here's the happy family group today I like this picture.

This is Dakota she weighed in at 5lbs and looks like she might be fawn.

This is the best picture picture I have of Diana in the back on the right who was a breach and weighed in at 4lbs. Her legs are still straightening out but she's doing well and has a very soft fleece probably moorit.

And this is Delia who was quite the surprise. She weighed in at 5lbs too and is so tall!

Here are some better pictures of Sabrina's triplets. This is the very handsome Winston.

The ever so cute Wilbur (he has little sideburns which I love).

And the tiny but perfect Dixie.

And just to show love to the other lambs here are William and Wallace who make me want to keep more rams. I just love both of these boys and their wonderful fleeces.

And Derry the lamb who started it all and looks like she will be modified like her mom and not black I think light grey. She is a very nice square girl.

Finally this is Marcus who is 8 weeks old today. He loves to play on his back and have his tummy rubbed, my partner calls him Cujo puppy when he looks like this lol.

Michelle you were the closet with your guess so can you email me your address puff614@yahoo.com so I can send you the sheep detective story :) Congratulations. I'm off to rest lol. Have a great weekend everyone.

Grand day out

The weather is nicer and pastures are drying up after the flooding. Today all of the girls and babies got to go and eat nice green grass. Of course the lambs made the most of the opportunity.

And they're off. Derry is so pleased to have other lambs to run with!

Here are some better pictures of Cammie's twins. They are both growing nicely and are very nice rams.

William is quite shy and still the bigger of the two he is a handsome guy though.

And I still can't get over how much Wallace looks like Sunny did when he was born. He's going to be an awesome ram. Can't wait to watch him grow more.

Sabrina chose to stay inside today so I think more lambs are on their way :) Have a great weekend everyone.

Naked sheep

The sheep were sheared on Monday afternoon and unfortunately for them it got cold on Tuesday. Today it was sunny (but windy) so everyone went outside and got to show off their do's.

Sunny looks wonderful and the shearer remarked what a great fleece he had especially for a ram. He has kept a good weight over winter and breeding season.

Dreamer looks very good too and spent most of the day stretching out in the sun. Dreamer is leaving us in the summer to go to a new great home. I am on the look out (and wait list) for a ram lamb lol.

Daisy Mae looked taller with her fleece off. And still skinny but not as far off height wise from Jacqui as I thought. Hopefully the spring grass will do her some good and she'll look better by the summer. That's Jacqui in the background her fleece was awesome. Can't wait to skirt it.

Jewel is looking good but plump. She is not supposed to lamb this year, I guess I know who has been eating Daisy Mae's food!

Amelia and Derry are doing well although I hope more lambs arrive soon for Derry to socialize with.

Lambing game for the pregnant girls will go up tomorrow. I need to think of a prize :)

Day outside

Yesterday Derry spent her first day outside with her mom. The weather here was beautiful and she had a great time jumping and running around. Fortunately she was still enough a few times to get a couple of pictures.

She's a cutie.

The chickens also went outside in the garden yesterday prepping the ground for spring planting. They had a great time scratching in the dirt and eating grass, and bugs.

Today is an exciting day. But more on that later :)
