First day of sunshine today! We were able to drain part of the pond in front of the sheep's house. The ground there is pretty damaged so we have put pallets down for them to walk on since they wouldnt sink and injure themselves. I am so thankful for our beautiful little boy! Ramsay is so friendly and will just lean against you asking for attention or just stare at you in adoration while you are scratching him

He is starting to show interest in the mothers though they still don't want anything to do with him lol, it's funny to see him trying to flirt with them. It looks like this year will be the same as newton.... because he's reaching that age and we still don't have him separated well guess I get to loose my sanity again later on this year (thanks dad -_- )
Hoping for sunshine the rest of the week, we would like to bring buddy home in the next few days and get him set up in the field. Dad says we will be keeping him over the winter so the more used to his new home he is, the easier it will be for us.

Here are some pictures of everyone enjoying the sun
(Look at toots ears )

(I love how sara looks in pictures )

(Momma bonding time )

Group cuddle times

Rod Stewart and his ladies soaking up the sun lol

So pictures of the pallets we have set up

Ramsay and toot get along pretty well. They seem to act like typical boys always butting heads and playing the who's got more testosterone game lol

Glad ya was able to ditch the scuba gear for a bit, I know all of them are glad the moat was drained. We are in a stretch of a few days without any moisture here, but some bad storms on the way Thurs-Fri.

Yikes I hope you don't get as much as they are predicting. I'm glad they are no longer swimming as well but we now find ourselves down to our last hay and straw bales.... since my grandfather couldn't find the straw bale he used and entire bale of hay as bedding So even though the rain is one rest it doesn't mean our troubles are over

The one with the horns has an advantage

Sorry she is still being a PITA @newton the goat.

Yeah, she does! She's acting like my mini Nubian was and I got him switched around with a lot of training.

We clipped her hoofs right away after she had the kids, we need to find a way to sharpen our clippers so we can do it again .... I know she needs them done
