Good News / Bad News
We have 3 ewe's that I know are pregnant. One was so large, I was sure she was carrying twins. Well this morning as Don was feeding, he heard the common deep "Baaaa's" and a little high pitched "baaaaa". He ran over to the sheep paddock to see a tiny lamb standing between the 2 older ewes that we have. Both of them seem to be protecting the lamb. I went out to see the new edition and caught sight of something else. Another small lamb lay dead further down by the fence. So now I am left to wonder...did both ewe's give birth last night or did only one give birth to twins with only one surviving?

Outstanding!!!
Very heart warming pictures. So how many sheep do you guys have and what do you do with them?
WE now have 7. They are all minature Chevoit sheep. We are raising a small herd and plan to start selling some either this year or next .. Also am going to try and sell the wool this spring to spinners. I know them all by name..so I cannot slaughter them. When they are hand raised - they make wonderful pets.
We had Roman leash trained and I swear he thought he was a dog...probably still does.
Oh yeah - having sheep it is easier to get an ag exemption on our farm land than it is for having horses.
I love your photos! They are adorable! It makes me very happy! Good Luck in the contest!
Lambs are so adorable, thanks for posting pictures!
If that last photo isn't the epitome of Easter then I don't know what is!
They are so adorable....
I love the photos! I had a pet lamb in high school that was just the sweetest. I'd love to get another lamb one of these days!
