Announcing the arrival of Bonnie and Lass.
Over a month early to us since we didn't expect them till mid-March but full term to their mama.

And, of course, during the middle of the worst snowstorm in decades.
Ava was quite worried since we have lost many a goat baby to the cold,
But so far this mama is showing up all the goats we ever owned. She had them in the barn, in a nice stall without any direction from us - John was quite surprised to find them this afternoon. Both little ewes (girlie sheep) are healthy, nursing, dry and alive as can be.
And that makes one little girl happy as can be.
Cheviots? Uh-oh... you guys are in for an adventure. Those babies are fence-proof.
ReplyDeleteLynnie! I'm so glad you are back to blogging.. it gives me something to do at work to break up the monotony of reports! Cute babies-- can't wait to see the rest of them that come this spring!
ReplyDeleteOh, it's just like little bo peep! The mama's so fluffy! (no, I'm not a farm girl, I can still live in the world where sheep are fluffy and white as clouds and even mama goats take care of their babies)
