Spring Lambs and silly Sheep

We have three new lambs!

MaryLou
(Daughter of Virginia)

MaryLou was our first lamb of the season, 
and her birth was the first clue that her mother was pregnant. 
She was knobby-kneed and a little pathetic...but has filled out very well.

Ruthie...the next Mama to give birth

Ruthie and her baby...

Obed...the Son of Boaz and Ruth!

Eli- son of Dolly (about a month old)
He is solid white, our lamb without blemish.

One of my favorite things about having sheep is the multitudes of opportunities to watch them be silly...
Eli-caught eating their jungle gym
(a stack of three hay bales  used by the sheep for climbing and  snacking!)

Dolly says..."I'm soooo itchy"
 The thick, woollier hair (grown for warmth in the winter) is shed, or rubbed off in the spring.
"Yes, that's the spot!"

Sheep Spa
Mama Sheep let out to graze...soaking up the sun!
