@purplequeenvt yes he can be. His favorite game is keep away (he is in the middle ) & he barks at us the whole time.

Had a long day at work yesterday, but when I got home at 0315 this morning (instead of 11pm yesterday), I had a nice present waiting for me in the barn.
Idalee had boy/girl twins. She had them up and fed by the time I got home.

I’ve trained my niece well! She likes to come over and check “nippies” on the ewes to see if they’ll have babies soon.

I almost didn't see that black ewe in the great pick of them all lined up for you. Then reading the breeds, I'm thinking....no last three, just two. Finally saw the shy one. 
Good mom on the lambing!

Your niece is adorable. Smart too! One of our granddaughters is all about the sheep, since she could walk, that where she wanted to be.

4 new lambs this morning.
Pumpkin, our bottle baby/house lamb from 2 years ago, had a single ram lamb all by herself. I didn’t bother to jug her since she only has the one and she’s proving to be an excellent mother. Who says bottle lambs make bad moms??
He’s got funky ears right now.
Jemima had triplets, 2 girls and a boy. Unfortunately it appears that she had an affair with the Shetland ram (he broke into the pen the day that she was marked) so these babies aren’t purebred.
Lamb count is at 9 - 5 girls, 4 boys.

Still waiting on more babies, but most of the remaining ewes are close. I’m hoping they’ll go this weekend while I’m not working.
Harris, his ears have finally started to go up as of this morning.

It’s hard work sitting around NOT having babies.
Yes, I did check to make sure Patti was still breathing.
A little over a month ago, I trapped a stray cat that had been hanging around for about 6 months. It was an intact adult male, shy but not aggressive. It took a while to get him (and the other 4 hooligans) an appointment to get neutered so I had him locked up in a room in the barn. He was pretty friendly with me when I fed him, but I fully expected him to leave as soon as I turned him loose. They were all neutered a week ago and the new guy, Benny, has decided that he’s going to stay. He’s very sweet now and just wants lovings.
