Getting Distracted by Goats

My goal this morning was to take lamb and yearling photos so that I could update the sheep pages on the website. I now have all the ewes in the flock listed here with photos of most of them. Some of the yearlings I was missing were these:

This is Evelyn. She is looking a little scruffy here but she lambed in March at not even a year old. She needs to pick up some condition but her lamb will be weaned soon and that will help. I selected her to keep because she wanted to be tame. Most lambs don’t act friendly but she did. Also, look at all that nice dark wool.

Addy also wanted to be a tame sheep. She was getting a supplemental bottle so that explains why. I loved her markings—she has little splotches of white wool mixed in with the black. She lambed in March with twins—a black one with the little white splotches and that white lamb standing near her.

Hilda is another yearling who lambed. She had twins which is unusual for a yearling. She is now putting some weight back on.

Venice is the last of the yearlings that lambed.

I got most of the sheep photos that I needed this morning but, as the title of this post says, I got distracted.

Ellie’s kid insisted on using mom as a climbing platform.

She wasn’t looking for a comfy spot to relax. She just kept going up and down.

As if one playing goat wasn’t enough distraction there are the triplets.

Breakfast!

Back to Ellie’s kid.

Patient mama.
