I know YOU and the sheep are loving grass!

YES! They graze in a big circle. They get full bellies and go lay in the shade. There is one oak tree close to their pen and 2 in the corner at the front gate. I'll be planting some more trees-and not oaks!I know YOU and the sheep are loving grass!

First lamb born on new farm. Lucy proudly presents Uno! A ram lamb.
Meeting the flock.
I opened the gate, let the flock out. Lucy is Baa baaing at the flock, Uno is laying down with a full tummy. She is an excellent mom, so I’m going to let her decide if she wants to leave the safety of the pen or stay.
Carson was bouncing around this morning, all excited. In Lindale, he’d greet me at the front door, race to the sheep barn and race back to me until I got to the barn to see the new arrivals. He was telling me there was a lamb born last night!
Lucy normally twins, but I think she is done. She isn’t in distress other than the flock leaving her. I did not have optimal conditions at son’s house, so may not have many twins. We’ll see.
Lucy has paced around as I was writing this. Now she has laid down with Uno
and stopped Baa-baaing.

Ringo and his girlfriend, Number One, are in a pen next to the ewe pen. He has been pacing up and down. Normally I leave him with the ewes when they lamb. He is an excellent Daddy, LOL and is great with the ewes and lambs. I have young ewes in the flock that I don't want bred yet, they will go to Cooper in March, so Ringo can't be with the ewes now.
So far, Lucy is staying in the pen with Uno. It will be interesting to see when she joins the flock.

Lucy stayed in the pen for hours, finally went about 5 feet out, grazed a little and laid down. She’s ventured out a little farther, but not following the flock. She has chased Sentry and Sheba away for getting too close. Instead of penning her up, I thought I’d let her decide how far she wanted to take him.
I invited a neighbor over to bring his little girl to hold and pet the new lamb. She thoroughly enjoyed the sheep. The flock came running, so I gave them a little feed. She was enchanted. He wants to buy a couple of ewes from me and start a small flock.
