The sheep were knee deep in snow today. We have about 6 inches on the ground. I cleared an area for them with the tractor but the little ones romp around in the deeper stuff anyway. The older lambs are now eating grain and a decent amount of hay and are growing rapidly. The sun was shining brightly today and it was actually comfortable outside.
Check out Valentino above. What a character he is. Click on the photo to enlarge his cuteness.
The flake of hay is almost bigger than they are!
Our latest addition, Dexter.I am expecting at least two more sheep to lamb any day now. I have to have a white ewe lamb to keep for myself so my fingers are crossed! The other ewes I am not sure about. If they are pregnant, and there's no reason to think that they aren't, it's probably going to be awhile.
