Finally the snow is beginning to melt, it makes us realize how much snow we actually had! Unfortunately with melting snow comes muddy ground. This weekend we will need to section off the ewes from the big pasture and keep them close to the barn until the grass is ready. If we put them out too soon their tiny hooves will tear up the sod and the pasture will be ruined for the summer!Exciting news: Bernice, the mother of our beloved flock leader Junior, is beginning to "bag up", once a sheep's udder begins to bag up it's only a matter time before lambs are here! We hope and think she'll be the only mom to lamb this early, the rest are due for early May. Tomorrow we are off to pick up lambing pens from a very generous friend who does not do any lambing anymore.
