A Sure Sign Spring is coming..

Despite the bitter wind today, clear signs of springs are showing themselves on the farm and this so far has been one of the biggest..

yup the sheep are starting to shed out their winter woolies..

Milking this morning was cold, enough that the first milk to hit the steel froze right up..

This little lamb had the perfect idea, shelter from the wind, warm bedding to sleep on and fresh green hay to nibble. thankfully only the wee lambs can pull this little stunt off and once they get bigger they won’t be able to get up and into the bales..

Today’s big lession for Brandy was to be tied up and to just hang, she is better about this somedays then others, but its a good lession and reminder that she can be tied off and stay there while I go about doing other things..

But the other little lambs were all sleeping together and chewing cud, its so cute to see itty bitty woolies chewing away on a tiny piece of cud.

    Oh how you make me miss the lambs. We still have goats but there’s just something about sheep that draws in all the cougars and wolves. We just can’t afford to be a wildlife feed lot anymore.
