Blue Work Socks

The Farmer was following The Farmers Wife

around Giant Tiger as many farmers do

Of course there were many items of interest to Farmers

The Farmers gaze fell upon work socks

Not that he was in need of work socks he has lots

It was The Farmers creative eye

So once back at the farm he set himself to the task

Here is the result of The Farmers trip to the GT Boutique.

Two weeks old , time to meet the others.

Well another set of twins are in the general population today

They are two weeks old and ready to mingle

They went out with mom who likes the grain.

One thinks it sees something curious in the door of the barn

Something in the door of the barn sees something new as well

Hey brother do you see that

Lets go check it out

Everyone appears to get along

More Socks

Its been cold and nasty on the farm for longer than The Farmer cares to remember.

The wind coming across the field cuts through you like a knife.

What better weather to stay inside and make a few pair of socks.

 

LAMB UPDATE

Well Lady Mary Finally Gave Birth

She is the last of The Farm's ewes to lamb for 2013

The Farmer finally got to discover one.

A purebred Romney female was hoped for but it was not to be

 

 

Its a boy

 

 

He will be a big one

He sure is cute

Mom doesn't appear to interested after working up a hunger

Well he will ignore her as well

Two can play at this game

The Farmer waited until today to make the announcement

in hopes that another may be on its way 

but 24 hours would be a long time between births

The Farmer and The Farmers Wife

are pleased with this years brood

They look forward to the sheering

and plan on keeping the Romney fleeces

Some spinning may be in their future.

Lambing 2013

Lambing Time

Well its year three of The Farmers sheep experience.

The Farmer and The Farmers Wife have been excited for weeks now.

Three expectant mothers all nearing their time.

Two weeks ago The Farmers Wife found this treat during her morning trip to the barn

A boy and a girl were the first arrivals of 2013

Two weeks old and eating hay already

Time to get free access to the outdoors

 How cute are they

The Farmers next expectant couple

Another morning surprise for The Farmers Wife

Its another set of twins a boy and a girl again 

They are very new

Important first drink

 Mom will lick them clean

The Farmer added a heat lamp to help warm them up.

A quick nap should do the trick

Getting to know one another

The Farmer will  leave them in a private area for a week or two

They will bond and momma will get a chance to rest.

Day two and a morning snack

They appear to like the camera

That's two down and one to go

The Farmer will blog again after the next birth

The new ewe came to the farm pregnant

She is a purebred Romney like The Farmers Ram

The Farmer is unsure of her due date but she looks close.
