A Ram and a Ewe Lamb!

Link - our new ram lamb!

This year I brought two new ewes into our flock.  They both gave birth this month – one to a beautiful ram lamb named “Link” and the other to a beautiful ewe lamb we named “Stella”.  I think these two are going to make beautiful additions to our flock.  I can’t wait to see how their fleeces develop.  Now we have three lambs in the barn for our dogs to watch when we go in and feed the flock.  They put on quite a show jumping and running around the barn in front of the dog audience.  They are so darn cute when they are little lambs.  Soon after all our snows melts, I can just picture them on beautiful green pastures!  Can you tell I am thinking of Spring!  Winter has been a bit long for us this year with all the snow and I am anxiously awaiting the melting process!

We have had so much snow this year, record high snowfalls actually, and the sheep are just anxious to get out and graze in the pasture.  The dogs are equally excited as I am sure they can’t wait to help take the sheep out of the barn and into the pasture.  I am looking forward to taking the dogs out to work the sheep.

Here you can see Delta and how high our snow is.  It is up to her chest after this last snow fall.  We have had three big storms this Winter and there is a prediction that we may have one more before this Winter is over.  I am predicting a wet Spring!  At least the grass and pastures will have a good start!

Looking forward to warmer weather and working the dogs!
