Sheep Farm

The kids and I went to a sheep farm this weekend. It was pretty rainy outside but we got a small glimpse of some of the hard work out there!

The sheep are getting separated in this large corral.



There are all ages of sheep here. The lambs are born dark and get lighter as the mature. Some of these sheep have already been sheared and some are still fluffy.

Here's a tiny lamb. She is sooo cute.


She needs to be tagged so they can match up mom to baby and keep good records on their health and growth. We saw two bottle-fed lambs where one mother died during birth but they were able to save the baby. This little one is wriggling around but don't worry, it only feels like getting your ears pierced. It's so fast, and then it's over; and just like anyone, mom came running up when she heard little lamb say "what's going on?"
