The triplets are really growing... they look fantastic.... The ewe is certainly quite a fantastic milker...
Glad you are getting "normal weather".... FINALLY, so are we... like the chilly 25-28 nights and 40-50 days...

Out grazing again today. So great temps in the 40s absolutely perfect. The quiet, the crisp air, and those cute triplets - and Obi lover of baby lambs.
Interesting --- the lil lambies got tired and all piled into a communal nap while the mamas and rest of the ewes sort of circled around them. Cool to see, but it doesn't happen all the time.
Looking like it'll be another good grazing day tomorrow!! Then we're in for a forecast of rain Mon-Thurs.
I don't know if I mentioned it earlier or not, so here goes - Obi got a hematoma in one ear a few months ago - then a couple weeks ago the other ear.
No known cause other than possibly hitting an ear on something when he'd shake of water or whatever. Now his ears look like something Collie or Sheltie people would kill for.
I miss those ears that would touch on the top of his head. He's been checked by our vet (who is the best) and it's purely cosmetic - which I already knew. While we did the check we also did an old dog check (it hurts to type old dog ) and he is in perfect health and bloodwork is perfect as well. Vet says he wishes every dog Obi's age was as good as Obi. Obi will be 11 in March. Where did the time go?

Obi is one of a kind.
