Baymule’s Farm Pictures

[Baymule]

Through all the cold, snow, ice and miserable weather, when we weren’t outside taking care of animals, we had two adorable bottle lambs to keep us laughing and entertained. We were calling the ram lamb Reject, but decided to wether him and keep him. So we changed his name to Panda because of the black eye spots he has. We named the little ewe lamb Tiny, she was so small. Tiny is now almost the size of her two triplet sisters.

After it warmed up, we transitioned Tiny and Panda to the barn so they could learn to be sheep. I fed them their bottles in the barn. They are now both weaned and doing great.

Bay, I'm simply loving all these pics!!! I can't believe you got temps and snow like that! I knew TX had gotten cold weather and some snow, but didn't know it got THAT bad. That's worse than any cold we had this winter, but more typical of what we are supposed to get at that time of year. Weird weather patterns for sure.

LOVE all the pics of the animals, particularly those beautiful lambs!

It’s been way too long since I updated! Been so darned busy. There’s more to come, I’ll get this current.

Snow started to melt February 20, but it took several days for it to be gone. My beautiful pine trees were frozen and burnt brown. Later all the pine needles fell off, not just here but for many miles around. Then they looked dead, no leaves! But they are sprouting green pine needles again.

On February 23, Scottie had twin girls. I kept up a pep talk to her, telling her to suck it up, cross her legs, but DO NOT have lambs in below zero weather! She listened! LOL

During lambing Sentry “asked” every evening to go in the barn with the ewes for the night. He wanted to stay with them at night all throughout the bad weather. He was on high alert, being protective of all the new lambs. After it warmed up, he stopped asking. LOL

Sheba was enamored of the lambs, she wanted to lick and love them and didn’t understand the ewes butting her. She helped Panda and Tiny adjust to moving from the house to the barn. There were no ewes to but her away, so I had to caution her. She did great with all those bouncy babies going boing-boing-boing-boing all around her.

Hello there! I’m Sheba!

We finally did go out to celebrate our 25th anniversary on February 27. We went to Longhorn Steak House and jokingly told them we were celebrating our anniversary late because we were snowed in on our anniversary. And they gave us free dessert!

That was a great bunch of pictures but I loved the one with the lamb on BJ's lap. You can tell he isn't getting close to them.

By March 2, 2021, the bad weather, scarcely a week gone, gave way to spring. I put the sheep out to pasture.

A couple of days later, the sun was warm, it was so beautiful and Tiny and Panda wouldn’t leave the gate, Baa-basing piteously for me. So I went in and plopped down in the clover, much to two little lambs delight. Sheba had to come get her share, then Senrty gave me a kiss.
