Thank you! I enjoy sharing my animals!Queen Mum said:
It was chilly this morning, but I don't think Wall-E noticed. He was nice and warm.
I went grocery shopping this afternoon and, when I got home, I left the door open briefly....the chickens decided to check out the big coop.

Nosy girls aren't there. I love Wall-E's wool sweater. That is cute!

I'm struggling with exhaustion today. I've been getting up in the middle of the night to check on a ewe that is close to lambing, but has been prolapsing all week. We had a very tragic death last year, one of our best 2 year old ewes prolapsed and died after giving birth, and I do not want to repeat that.
I need to pull myself together, find my brain (where did I leave it this time?) and do some prep for the shearing tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Well, this has been a busy day. I went out this afternoon to set up for the shearer tomorrow and I found a ewe in labor.
Carrie is a 7 year old ewe who frequently decides that she will raised only one lamb. Of course she usually has 2. She had 2 big babies (9 and 10.5 lbs) and appears to be accepting both, but we shall see.
The white one is #1206 Celia Mae and the black is #1207 Mike Wazowski.
We had gotten Carrie and babies settled in the jug, grained and watered the sheep, and I was just about to feed the hay when a ewe went running by me screaming for her lamb and trailing a water bag behind her....
Lucie, a 3 year old, very quickly thereafter had 2 10 lb black girls.

Flo is not looking very happy in that picture, but I think I wouldn't be really happy if my mom made a chocolate shake out of me before I was born.

I think she's just jealous because Sally got all that cool white on her face.
