Little Meadow Sheep Farm in Pennsylvania

Border Leicester Sheep at Little Meadow Sheep Farm
Here are just a few shots of the girls and our new ram. The ewes are getting pretty thick in the middle, so hopefully we’ll be lambing in a few months and have lots of twin lambs and a bigger flock for the dogs to herd in the Spring.
"Bubba" - our new boy!
Above is Bubba, our newest ram. We’re hoping he is going to bring us a nice lamb crop this year with our ewes. Bubba is a purebred Border Leicester ram. His wool is absolutely beautiful and has a personality to match. I think he is going to be one of my lead sheep this year, as he loves to come over and be petted and also he loves the grain we feed him. He is always the first to come over and greet me in the barn.
One of my favorite ewes! "Jersey Girl"
Then there is Jersey girl, she is just one of my favorite ewes that was born here on the farm. Her mother was a beautiful ewe and since past, but I am so glad to have a baby from our old ewe Emma! Jersey girl has a little black spot under her eye that reminds me of her own mother and that is how I could always tell who she was in the barn. You can really get attached to all these critters. They are much like the dogs – all have their own little personalities.
More to come when we have lambs – that is always an exciting time for us and also for the dogs to see the new lambs – they are always so curious about the dogs.
