lambs

Here's a group of the young ram lambs.  The two on the left are the most recently born.  The other two look almost ready to sheared.  They've got incredible wool.  Anyone looking for a flock sire, here's your chance.
Laura and Leah are getting big too.  Always eating... a mother's work is never finished.

milk thief

Sorry the photo is blurry, I grabbed my camera in a hurry to get a shot of this jacob lamb stealing milk from the Teeswater twins.  This is sort of sad, because this ewe only has one good teat, and her twin rams really need as much milk as they can.  Maybe when this ewe is sheared, she'll be able to monitor what's going on back there, and head butt any thieves out of the way.

We postponed shearing, as the trip to Lucasville trade days took up all of Sat. and working on patching fences seemed more important...

Also STILL no piglets.

new lambs

A couple of days ago Cindy's mother, a Teeswater ewe, had twin rams.  It's wild to see how much smaller these little guys are than the other lambs that are a couple weeks old now.  Both boys seem to be doing fine.  This Ewe only has one good teat, but the milk seems to be flowing fine. 
that makes a count far of...
5 ewes... 7 rams.
