We had the most beautiful day! Sunny, light breeze, and around 65 degrees (I think). Got a lot done today. I have been moving the sheep and goats every three days to try and stay ahead of the parisites. And today was the day to move them. I have three electic fence netting that I create two small paddock. I would like to get one more to make it a little easier. I have to let one group out and set up a new paddock and then get them back in and then do the same with the second group. Well, the shetlands decided to take a walk-about while I set their new paddock up. They usually just stay in the general area eating grass while I move things, but noooo, today they left the pasture, went though the dry lot, down to the house, up on the deck of the house, and around the pond! Luckily they are gluttons for grain. So a call for them and rattle of the grain bucket and they all come running! Wish I had a picture of that!
But here is a couple pictures of them all in there new paddocks.
I think Matilda is getting close to kidding! Here bag is soooo big and so is she!
The three shetland ram lambs. If you look closely you can see their horns coming in. And look at that crimp in their fleece!!!
Agatha, she is my wild child! I hope she settles down when I wean her. She is so funny to watch play. She can't just run anywhere or even jumb there, she has to run, jumb and twist all at the same time!!
Alex and Adian. Alex ducked down just as I took the picture. But it is a good color comparsion. I think Adian will stay darker much longer than Alex. Even though they both will have more of a silver fleece once mature.
I love their little devil horns!
I think I am getting caught up outside so maybe, maybe I can get some riding in and do a little weaving as well.
Hope everyone has a wonderful week!!
