A place for us to share with the world what goes on here - warts and all, and to fantasize about someday really understanding what it means to be "self-sufficient"...

Lamb #1
The marking harness did the trick - 147 days after the big blob coloring job...we had a lamb!
Secret x Leonidas = a nice, big ram lamb....grey in color with a beautiful splash on the head and frosted ears. Sure, I would have preferred a ewe, would have LOVED two rather than one, but hey- no vets, and I didn't have to pull this one myself.
Secret is a very protective mother...actually bordering on psycho aggressive. So photo opportunities come few and far between...
But we'll keep practicing....

He's adorable! How many lambs, total, are you expecting this year?
Congratulations! He's a cutie. :o)
Congratulations! Will you keep him as a fiber producer?
Secret definitely has "that look" in her eye to stay back. The lamb is very cute.
Gotta say the little guy is a real "looker." I love black lambs/sheep.
