New Lambs



The fencing is amazing and working wonderfully.  Do we relax?  
Do we enjoy life? Do we take a trip to the beach?  NO!  We do not!  

We decide to buy 3 more Shetland Sheep.  We call to meet with Dianne a local breeder of Heritage Animals that I have been speaking too.  We do not own a trailer yet so while we are sitting discussing who to ask if we can borrow their trailer a friend calls to say he knows someone who a trailer has been abandoned in front of their house and they contacted the police but nothing has been done and they want it GONE.  So we go to pick it up instead of borrowing one – it has no license plate and we do not want to drive it so we finally end up at the breeders without a trailer.  We learn a lot and have a wonderful visit with all the Heritage Animals.  My 3 youngest children pick out 3 lambs.  These will be our first registered sheep. 

The next day we go pick up the lambs and put them in our dog crate.  We have a big dog so all 3 fit easily.  We put the new sheep,

 Marshmallow,


 Maxwell, and Dot
 into the new area enclosed by the electric fence.  

Deer is very bossy to the new sheep she pushes them around when they walk in front of her or eat a weed near her.  Blackwell seems to enjoy them.
