Of course, it all gets a little tiring after a while.
Play is fun. Sleep is fine too.

Came across a lamb on the wrong side of a fence from its mum today, both sounded quite distressed. After a short low speed pursuit I was able to pick up the lamb and pop it over the fence to be reunited.
I've never held a lamb before, it was so cute! In other news I may now be vegetarian again and also I want to have a baby.
Silber hat innerhalb von nicht Mal zwei Stunden ganz sang- und klanglos zwei Lämmer zur Welt gebracht.
Beim Abendstall machen habe ich sie separiert, weil sie Anzeichen für baldige Geburt hatte.
Es ist so schön, wenn man weiss, dass die allermeisten Geburten ganz einfach und unspektakulär passieren.
All in all, it was all ram lambs this go around. Kind of a flop, but that's a wrap on #lambing season!
I know I've been posting a lot about #yarn, #handspinning, and #dyeing #wool. It's #winter right now.
Rest assured I will turn back to #GardeningMastodon soon! It's almost time to sow #seeds!
And #lambing is coming up mid-March, too. So, I will be talking more about that as it gets closer. #SheepOfMastodon
One of the many lambs running around in our field, this one is unusual because of the saddle marking, more typically it is just the head and legs that have the black wool.
This day last year, we were surprised when Gardenia gave birth to a black and white ram lamb we named Orca. He has atypical coloring- maybe some recessive genes coming out! We aren't #lambing this year, but I can't wait for shearing so I can get Orca's baby fleece off! #SheepOfMastodon #lambs
Fun in the lamb nursery whilst we're watching another expectant ewe.

Slap bang in the middle of #lambing you'd think that Nazi Niall McConnell would be at home looking after his ewes rather than traipsing round the country stalking empty buildings.
Twin lambs born last night to Feta. I guess you can call this badger-faced? We don't have any like this in our closed flock. I can't wait to see what color these fleeces are going to be! This year is definitely the year for recessive genes or something! #lambing #lambsofmastodon
It's good to have a friend to hoof snuggle with. #lambspam #lambing #lambsofmastodon
