Only two of these lambs are hers, and what's really amusing is that the little Katahdin who kept trying to climb on top of her isn't one of them.
Two years ago, we added a Katahdin ram and two Katahdin ewes to our flock, in the hopes of building up the parasite resistance in our mostly Suffolk sheep (they're the ones with the distinctive black faces and legs). So far it's going really well, and we're very happy with our hair sheep.

She's a good mama!
ReplyDeleteLamb babysitter? Do all the other ewes go partying in the grass, while this poor girl is saddled with all the responsibility?
