Last week we had a terrible-cold-snowy couple of days, and it was hard at the farm. Farmer B. warned me that there could be many lambs lost because of the weather. The wet and cold is hard on lambs and on their Mums, too. I had trouble sleeping, and came over to see the sheep first thing in the morning.
There were losses, but at the same time, the weather brought about 10 more births than any typical day. That is a huge delivery day!
Cold. Thankful for their little fleece jackets and hats.
Breakfast time. Everyone is hungry (always).
And in the stalls...
My sweetest new friend, Pipsqueak.
