I got down to the shop yesterday i havnt been down for 3 days because we had company the hubby of the company helped DH do chores and i was busy with the other half of the company.
So i noticed the ram lamb is FAT, he is a little porker!! Both lambs are eatting grain and hay well and running all over the place.
Ivy is making a bag...i'm so excited to see what she has and i really really hope it is a girl and everything goes well. Phoebe and the polypay are never gonna let them babies go
I did try to take pictures last night but my phone just refused to focus so i got about 15 fuzzy ones and a few decent ones.

This is the little porker Ram lamb! That blur is 2 or 2
2 of 2 between Sweetie and i think 308
The ram lamb and 2 of 2. I swear she knew i was trying to get a picture of her. 2 of 2 is the lighter colored lamb.
The lambs nose is not white, he was eating the powdered pig and sow feed we have been giving the sheep. We have been mixing in a little pig feed to try to up their protein so they can put on some weight, esp sweetie.
No ear lose as of yet, which we are really happy about. The lambs seems very happy and bouncy. 2 of 2 is as tall as the ram lamb but more slender, he may be out competing her for feed but there is food 24/7 so she should be getting plenty.
I want to move them back outside to the main pen but i am concerned that the goats and other sheep would beat up the lambs. Secondary problem is that the goats will need to come in when they have their kids if they have them in the next week or two.
Also 308 is pretty sure Rosie shouldnt be near the lambs and is wary when Rosie is near me. If i am petting Rosie, 308 just watching closely but if Rosie tries to walk up to be 308 lunges at her and Rosie jumps and runs up on her hay bales. They seem to have come to some sort of understanding that if Rosie is out of the sheep's "area" they are fine with her. Not sure what to do about that, Rosie hasnt shown any aggression towards the sheep or lambs. She was getting very excited by the ram lamb when he first came into the shop, but i told her no she had to be calm and gentle by the lamb and she has been ever since.

Cute lambs! Rosie is a smart girl and gets out of the ewe's way. It's great that she listens to you and hasn't shown any aggression. She's coming right along!

Thank you Bay, we are very happy with Rosie!
I see a lot of fresh wood in those pics. Looks like you &/or the hubby have been building out inside the barn/shop. Looks good! Thanks for the sheep pics. Can you include one of Rosie next time as well? We all love our big dogs (and everyone else's too!)!

I expect in time Rosie and the sheep will learn they are meant to live together.

That's the 100something odd boards we got from DH's work, 97 2x4x16 and 40some 2x6x16....they have built all of our stalls so far and we have enough left for about 3 more stalls. We also used the 2x4's to lay over the tops of all the stalls and store our hay on top of the stalls, we have around 300 bales stored on top of the stalls.
I did include a new picture of Rosie about a week ago on my journal page but I will add it here too
@Bruce Rosie is actually ment to guard the poultry, she is only with the sheep atm because we had to put the lambs and momma's some place.
I saw that photo, but you know, with these big beautiful lovely white dogs known as LGDs, things can change in a matter of hours! No such thing as "too many pics" where they're concerned She really is a beauty.
