Here is clover!

Finally Rosie! She has gotten kinda chubby.

This is our dog shadow, he is 5 years old. He is very good with our animals

Look at those brows <3

He is a big goober

Here is a picture of the pigs aka the jerks. I have been bit a few times by them so I am not very fond of them :/

I hope you all enjoy, I know I enjoyed the photoshoot!

Love the pictures! Do you make anything with the alpaca wool?

Thank you! And not yet, but now that I know how to spin and knit, I have some plans

Good job on the knitting! Keep at it, there's lots of neat things you can knit, for yourself and others. Soon you'll be making things with fiber from your own animals, too!

Ras has bred Rose and Clovey. Rosie is farther along than clover, and we will most likely be having January/February lambs. This is my first time having multiple lambings at once so I am a bit nervous. Rosie is so fat already, and I swore while she was eating I saw movement.

Clover

You'll be fine! At least they aren't due at the same time.

Keep an eye on their weights - you don't want them to gain too much and have the lambs get too big. You should be able to feel their backbone easily. Width is another matter - wide is gonna happen

The three of them share half a scoop of grain(prob around 2 1/2 cups). They get the free choice graze for most of the day then grain at night. Should I cut off the grain? Rosie really fattened up over the summer, so I have no worries of a repeat of last year.

Feel their backbones about halfway down their back. If you can easily feel the ridge, keep doing what you're doing. If the ridge is barely there, slowly back down on the grain and recheck once a week or two.

Ok, I check them every few weeks, they aren't very tolerant of it. The girls are good, its "little Ras" who is getting chunky.

It must be a guy thing! Same here, my girls and the lambs get grain and are fine, but I think my ram Elding could get fat on air... lol
