Sunday in the pasture

Yesterday I spent a little time in the pasture with the Striker and ZoomZoom.  They're two weeks old now.  Mamas, Ginger and Smudge, have relaxed their watch a bit, allowing the two boys to roam the pasture together.  As I've said before, ram lambs are spunky and curious.  It didn't take them long to feel comfortable with me.  This is absolutely the best part of raising sheep!

The boys are curious, but the mamas still stay close.

Striker is such a romancer!


And I'm happy to say that our last mama, Buttercup, lambed out on Friday of last week.  She had a pair of twins, both black and both rams!  Straight run of boys this season!  More on Buttercup and her family in the coming week.
