2018, Waiting on Lambs! ♡

[secuono]

New ewe is terribly overweight. New ram is sick.

That is 2+ inches of fat on her butt!! Lots of fat over everything actually.

New ewe's or new ram's fleece, I forgot.

Got some skirting done, more to go. Smushed in the horse trailer because of cold wind n rain. Several fleeces will be sold for nearly just shipping costs and as experimental.

Got more fleeces skirted, nearly done. TONS of waste...NOT happy. Another bad year in shearing and animals. Ugh.

Juliana had a ram!

He's got a preference for the left nipple, annoying when they get picky, since colostrum is in both.
Anywho, new coat and had him nurse again.
They are both soooo chatty!
She got a ton of milk in! Glad I moved the dog out earlier this morning or I would of had a dead or rejected lamb.

Lucia looks huge. She's uncomfortable.
It's cold, all sheep not happy about being shorn. Will have to force the issue of having them shorn late April from now on like I used to.
