Would you believe we’re still waiting?
March 23rd, 2009 at 07:46 pm by Shari Thomas in Around the Farm, Sheep, WeatherLast week we had spring. This weekend, we had winter again with better than 40mph winds, sleet and a couple inches of snow.
There’s an old wives tale that says a dramatic change in the weather will bring on labor.
Someone forgot to tell our sheep… we’re still waiting.
This morning, Cindy and I took time to really closely observe our gals. We can see the little lambs moving and a couple of the mamas are looking pretty uncomfortable.
I guess we’d better hurry out in the morning when we first get up. I don’t really expect anything overnight.
Buy me a beer and I'll write more posts more often.

Barnyard cuteness! Lambs, ewes and horses
March 8th, 2009 at 04:24 pm by Shari Thomas in Horses, SheepAs promised yesterday, here are some pics from our neighbors lamb pen.
We were over there today a couple times. The second time we were there, another ewe gave birth to one very big lamb.
One little lamb has been rejected by it’s mother, which is just fine with the neighbor’s granddaughter, who is now the surrogate mama. Of course that means feeding every 2 to 4 hours around the clock.

Nothing like a swift lick to the butt!
My name is Bandit! My mama is a Jacob sheep.
You're one strange looking friend!
