I'd have to check my records to see the actual numbers. I do know that last year we also had two sets of <A HREF="http://foodiefarmgirl.blogspot.com/2007/03/farm-photo-3707.html" REL="nofollow"><B>triplets!</B></A><BR/><BR/><B>Hi Kristin,</B><BR/>The wee woolies - I love it! And I can't believe I never thought to call mine that!<BR/><BR/><B>Hi Britta,</B><BR/>That article is wonderful. Thanks so much for the link to it. Wow, some people think I'm obsessive heading to the barn for middle of the night lamb checks - she checks on her sheep every two hours round the clock! But she also keeps them out in the field until they lamb. There's no way we could do that with the coyotes. All year round our sheep are locked up each night in the barn.<BR/><BR/>P.S. Oh, I'm envious - I love pie! You (and any other pie bakers reading this) might enjoy my amazing artist/shepherdgirl friend Katherine's wonderful <A HREF="http://donkey-dreams.blogspot.com/" REL="nofollow"><B>Donkey Dreams & Pino's Pies project.</A></B><BR/><BR/><B>Hi Paige,</B><BR/>Oh, those big sweet eyes on baby calves are just too much. We're in cattle country, and nearly all the cows have calves right now. The other day I was driving my visiting foodie mom back to the airport and when we drove by one field I pointed and said, "Look! That cow just had a baby!" It must have been about 10 seconds old.<BR/><BR/>What I really love about cows is that, unlike sheep, they create a nursery. One mother is the designated babysitter, and all the other mothers drop their kids off with her while they go eat grass. So you'll see a bunch of cows grazing and then one big one surrounded by a whole bunch of babies. It's so cute. And smart!<BR/><BR/><B>Hi ga.farmgirl,</B><BR/>Thanks!<BR/><BR/><B>Hi Barbara,</B><BR/>Nice to hear from you! : )Farmgirl Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04851855517852917202noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-994053377039861012008-04-14T17:33:00.000-05:002008-04-14T17:33:00.000-05:00That's such a cute picture!That's such a cute picture!Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16629256296450380665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12997259.post-16658504338393230812008-04-14T11:31:00.000-05:002008-04-14T11:31:00.000-05:00That is a daily dose of cute.
