Lucy’s twins are both white, boy and a girl. I’m happy with that!

Eve was very needy last night, wanting lots of soft stroking on the side of her face. This morning, twins! Boy and girl. The boy had the afterbirth wrapped around his neck and front legs. Otherwise, he was licked clean. I cut it off with my pocketknife. He went straight to momma for a drink. He was strong enough that I believe despite his wrappings, he had already been up and nursed.

Even though you only wanted to take 10 ewes to your eventual new home, remember that these 3 new girls are tiny and will take up hardly any space. That means you can take them too! HEE HEE HEE!
TEN?? Did I say TEN??? I’m at 13 already without counting the newest 3. But they ARE small, don’t take up much room, so barely even count as one. Maybe as half. Yeah, that’s it, combined they equal half a sheep.

Miss Christmas how long u planning to eat? I know the drives long but not a week. Is that restaurant open 24/7 as a buffet? Ha ha.
No buffet. Not open 24/7, it’s a small town. Heck I don’t know if there is a place open 24-7 in Crockett, Texas! Hahaha!

That must be why the flock keeps growing. We have to count to see how many there really are. We know how many are on the big field since those get counted every night when putting them away. We know how many are in the jugs in the barn. We think we know how many are in the breeding pen. Oh yes and the other 3 rams in the ram pen. Now how many does that add up to . . . ?
