While Holly and I wrapped up chores this evening I took some sheep shots with my new iPhone. I’m actually able to post to my blog from my phone – it’s mindnumbingly easy. So I’ll quick posting more often.
Separating the moorits was sad. Chai, the moorit ram above was quite protective of his girls and he’s not sure he likes being with the cormo ram lambs . Not yet anyway. He has his buddy Latte for company .
The moorit ewe lamb, Cognac and Bailey, are enjoying their new friends. It was funto see them all together sharing the feeder space this evening. I suspect the girls have been harssed a bit lately by the rams, so the girls club is quite happy for now.
The last shot shows Holly walking the mothers back from the pasture before dusk. We keep the flock behind hard fences at night to keep them protected.
The sheep seemto like going home at the day’s end.
On a separate note, thanks for your comments on my recent posts, especially your questions about why the sheep wear coats, and are they hot in those coats
And why are we always moving them about? And then there were some excellent questions about color breeding a few posts ago. This weekend I’ll try to answer them in a separate post.
Hope your weekend is wonderful!!
P.S. My new niece Lilly is doing very well,happy to be at home getting to know her family.
