2013 lambs----post #3

The fog has cleared a bit for me today since my husband took the 2 am feeding for Jasmine and did the barn check at the same time.  I was so exhausted, I didn't even hear him, which is almost unheard of with me. 

We came home from work to a pair of ram lambs out of one of my Shetland X-bred ewes.

Then just after supper, I did a barn check and found a ewe and a ram.

    1. Actually, she's already in a small dog crate. That's her bed when she not terrorizing my cats. :) This is from a breeding that I was REALLY looking forward to seeing, so she's has to hang around for at least a little while.

  2. They are so cute and adorable. I just like baby animals. It comes from growing up on the farm. I would still like to live in the country if I could. Babies always seem to come in the winter months and that is one thing I never understood. Have a great day. Hugs and Prayers Your Missouri Friend

  4. The melting snow in Wales has uncovered a lot of Spring lambs which could not find cover, because they were not Winter lambs - very sad.

    1. I have been following those stories, they are heartbreaking.

  5. Out of curiosity for much did Faith's lambs weigh? More than a typical Shetland?

He who angers you, controls you.

And my favorite.......You can't control what others say or do, but you can control your reaction.
