Morning pictures
Sunshine (our female goat) and Pearl (one of our female lambs) are enjoying the morning sun. 
Pearl just recently weaned from the bottle. 
Sunshine is due to kid anytime now. This will be her first time. I have planned a completely natural birth for her with no (hopefully) human intervention. I'm thinking something along the lines of this video.
Those are beautiful photos. They really make me miss the country. Radcliff is a small town, but still too big for me. Give me the mountains and the fields and tending to livestock at 4a.m.
ReplyDeleteI sure don't tend to livestock at 4am. (In fact, I'm pretty sure they are still asleep at that hour as well.)
ReplyDeleteBUT, as I mentioned on your blog, I would love to have you all at our little mini-farm.
That is so awesome! I was researching it a bit...turns out fine wool sheep are very herdlike...the hair sheep and other courser wool types are more closely tempermented to bond with their humans...so I might have to put my sheep dreams on hold till retirement. But it's always at the back of my mind. They do look so cute when they're little lambs!
