SheepGirl's 2012 Lambing Thread

The pasture is looking good! My sheep finally went out a few days ago to graze some areas that had good growth. They were so happy!

It sounds like your sheep would be happy! How are your lambs doing?

They're doing great! They're really starting to look like little Southdowns...beards and all. I love 'em.

Normally we shear in mid- to late-April. I think this past year we sheared on April 21st or April 23rd...can't really remember though

So we will be getting them sheared later this month (or at the very least, very early May). Still need to make an appointment with the shearer!
