Babydolls always have the coolest expressions on their face. Such character!

Was scrolling down, looking at your girls. The 2nd photo (of sheep, not the grain) had the big toothy grin. I said to myself, all you need now was the tongue hanging out, and lo and behold, that was the next shot! Great loved it!

For those who were interested, here is what the "gate" looks like that my ram went through.
In the ram pasture (where the two black sheep are, in the background), you will see two posts really close together in the upper left hand corner. It is basically a piece of wood nailed to the fencing that creates the opening...and then it gets fastened together with the fence post at the top with a wire. Well, needless to say, Billy went through the bottom of it

And...here's another pic of my ewe just because I like this one.

Beautiful sheep! Best of luck with lambing. My sheep are about 3.5 months bred with luck.
