We finally lost our original "Granma" ewe earlier this year. Spirea provided a really good start to our flock! She was always a really good mama and would run around frantically looking for her baby even when it was a half-grown lamb, having a great time with his friends!
She had a lamb when she was about 13 and lived to see her last lambs first baby, 2 years later.
We really were hoping she’d make it to her 15th birthday Feb. 19th, but when she couldn’t get up late January, we figured that wouldn’t happen. But, sturdy sheep that she was, she just kept hanging on and died on her 15th birthday! She was a good sheep with more descendants than I’ve counted!
