that is proof that he exists.”

The best way to get to know your sheep is up close and personal. At first we couldn't tell them apart, but we have gotten to know our sheep quite well. At least the Scottish Blackface have mottled and spotted markings that make it easier to figure out who is who.

I'm a sucker for baby animals at the best of times, so these little guys got me hooked.

Scratch that Itch
'Fluffy'
I'm always amazed at the agility of lambs. Even when they are only a few days old they can still manage to scratch that itch, or find a way to reach those leaves.

It's part of our sheep's job to do the mowing around some of our antique farm equipment, so I decided to take this black and white photo to capture the nostalgic-type moment.

Lambing Pens
Lambing Pens (Jugs)
Each of our lambs spend their first few days in one of these pens close to their dam. This not only helps them bond to each other, but makes it easier for us to keep track of how they are doing.
