Ah - HA!

No group of juvenile Shetlands is going to outsmart ME!

It didn't take me long to get all five girls back into the re-reinforced paddock this morning.

Those babies are going to have to FLY if they want to get out of there!

It's much quieter this time than it was yesterday. Perhaps they won't even TRY??

My beautiful "Cricket" (one of my very favorite ewe lambs!)

"Shaela" ~ what a beauty!

DREAM says...

"Are you thinking that perhaps Mom is keeping herself incredibly busy so she doesn't have time to think about everyone who's leaving on Friday???"

Oh, hush now, Dreamer!
Tomorrow, a CHICKEN UPDATE!

Now Try to Guess What I Did Today...

Don't feel too bad. The little shits were ALL back in with the ewes when I got home from work tonight! I don't even want to know...

DREAM says...

..."Then I'm not telling!"

It's About THAT Time Again....

THIS is what started it:
Zest's single ram lamb is HUGE! He's almost as big as his dam and towers over all the other lambs.

When I saw him with the ewe lambs this morning (that's him, behind Chance, at the mineral feeder in the barn), and chasing around some of the adult ewes, I decided that it's time to separate the ram lambs.

I started with these four:

~ WHITE NIGHT ~


~ OUTLAW ~


~ BLING ~
and


~ MOON SHADOW ~ (the moose!).

I left Thorn in with Rosie for a few more days because he's the smallest of all the ram lambs and Renegade in with Alice 'till this weekend as I don't like to pull twins off at the same time and she's got quite a large udder.

What a great photo op!! I've had a difficult time getting interesting pictures the last couple of weeks because all the lambs want to do is graze.

Nothing like a little separation anxiety to get some nice photographs!

Now I've got to go SPIN before I leave for work.....
