Here is Trinity with her Mom, Ashley last week…the lamb darn near as tall as the ewe now, and all from the miracles of milk replacer and the shepherd’s attention! If we were to line her up against the rest of the lambs you could not tell she was the artificially raised lamb. Her strong point is she is at the ready for feed, hay, grain and also out to graze. You go girl!
The flocks were reunited this week and are out to pasture. We let the mothers wean the lambs naturally; less stressful all the way around and quieter too! With all the rain we have had this month the grass is growing faster than they can eat it. By August I’ll be bemoaning how slowly it is recovering, but for now the sheep have full bellies! For the past few weeks they had pretty much eaten their spring pastures down to a couple of inches and there was ALOT of baaaing going on for new pastures, it was relentless at times! Sheep are definitely food driven.
Smile!
Charlotte loves you!!
