Babies first day out. Thelma took the boys out to meet Ma and Esther and then took them back in for a nap.

It is amazing how much time I waste watching them.

Yes, I changed the title of the thread. Once I name the boys it will turn into their journal. That way everyone who took the time to wait with me will see their progress. I am trying to decide on names.

What about......

Hans and Franz???

Awww they just keep getting cuter!!! :love That black and white one kinda looks like the other baby that was born like 2 months ago. You know, the one that didn't drive everyone crazy!!! :he But I am so happy everything is going well. I am sure Thelma is being a great mother!!! Oh and that black one, he definitely has trouble written on his face! Kinda like his mom!!! :D

Just checking in on our Thelma and her babies. Hope everyone is still doing well. What does Esther think of the little guys?

Hans and Franz are doing great. Esther is interested in them but food wins out with Essie. Thelma is SO much happier. She seems to be smiling all the time. Along with that purr thing she does.

The goats are interested in the boys too but Thelma won't stand for it if they get too close. Poor goats.

I have uploaded a video of the boys playing. Boy am I glad that humans have about a year before babies are too active. :lol:

Very cute.

I had a Kathidin male that the breeder banded for me. He had me wait until he was between 4 and 5 months old becasue he said it helps avoid urinary calculi. And I followed his lead, since he has a lot more experience than me and he happens to be a medical doctor.

My neighbor castrated mine at about a week and a half. He cut them because he said he's had problems wih infection from banding, plus you can miss a testicle if you aren't careful. I think I was more traumatized then my baby. I've heard of urinary problems with castrating cats too young, but never with sheep. That def. doesn't mean it isn't possible because I'm a new sheep owner with LOTS to learn.
