Time for more animals. Sheep next.

We started with three sheep, last May. Of these we still have Dolly and Baa Baa. Ali (son of Baa Baa) made a delicious Christmas dinner....
We then aquired two more ewes, Joey and her lamb, Rosie.
Joey had a lovely black ram lamb in March, but unfortunately she and the lamb were killed by a local dog. The pictures below are of the three remaining ewes and their lambs.

This picture is of Rosie with Pipin, who was born under an apple tree. You will see how much he has grown in a later picture.

This is Baa Baa, our wild-woman Ouessant ewe, with little Dot.

Finally, Dolly with Cyril and Pipin in the background.

We are getting two more lambs, one black ewe-lamb who will be called tina, and a black ram-lamb as yet un named. At the rate the grass is growing we will need them all to keep the field down this summer.

Next post - the chickens. Can you bear to wait?
