Somebody sure loves beening around Babydolls. Julie was thrilled to meet our little flock & to spend time with them meandering through around the hillside.

Teaching the young rams who’s boss, that ramming is not acceptable & what the word “no” means is a very important part of raising little boys & very rewarding.

We bred these two rams last year & they have given us lovely lambs this year. They are great buddies & enjoy a spot of rough n tumble. Thankfully they are both very respectable of humans & very affectionate as well.

No shortage of affection here.

While I’m busy laying their wool around the veggie patch the flock are pruning the citrus trees & cleaning up the weeds in our newly fenced paddock. We’ve had good rain & sunshine so everything is blooming. The wool will help to keep weeds at bay in the garden & the moisture in the ground. Sheep are just the best helpers on acreage, an absolute pleasure to manage and great company.

Hans, Mikey & Calico we’re feeling so happy for being shorn that they approached Stewart to express their gratitude. Since he doesn’t often handle them they would not normally do this but yesterday they had plenty of affection for him.

I love the mornings at this time of year. The lambs are all strong enough to feed independently of their mums. My bottle fed ewe, Tully insists on being hand fed her pellets but the other lambs all barge their way into the feed buckets.
Its lovely to watch how tolerant & gentle the adults are with the babies, especially our two rams.
Mum’s -Tawny & Tabby are great mates & share the load. Tawny has triplets but Tabby who lost her ram lamb supplement feeds Tawny’s ram lamb, Tassie, & I bottle feed Tully & between us everyone is thriving.
I’m sure the time will come when it will be every man for himself but for now they’re a very tight, co-operative little family🩷🩷

Still waiting…….

I’m glad though as the weather is now perfect with warm temps & no precipitation other than heavy dews.

Im thinking that my two rams who are first time Dad’s were slow learners as it must have taken them more than two weeks to figure out how to get the girls pregnant.

We got tired of waiting for labour to start so the girls have been given a day leave pass to graze the overgrown try own garden terraces with the boys. And they’re loving it with loads of edible ground covers & weeds & shrubs & the odd flower. Happy sheep😄

Our Tawny has put herself into the maternity shed tonight as it’s raining here. Sensible girl. I’ll be keeping a very close eye on her tonight as she’s quite obviously ready to pop & last year we had to detangle her three lambs & help them into the world. I’m praying that she has a much easier delivery this year.

A bit of push & shove from Hans & Mikey. Both are very eagerly awaiting their treat of a handful of pellets.
