2013 Lambs

All of our 2013 ewe lambs sold and we were left feeling a bit sad. The good news is that we have just put Curro back with the girls and should be having a new crop of little lambs this spring.

Can't wait to do this again! We had to supplement little Lavender's feedings just twice a day because she was a bit small and her big sister was kind of a hog.

Just a few hours old.

About a month old, look how fluffy and cute they are getting. They are all smiles!

2013 Shearing

Pepita doesn't seem to mind the shearing at all.

Before and after shearing...wow!

This spring we had the girls sheared several weeks before they were due to lamb. I was glad we did because soon after lambing we had a few weeks of really warm weather for us at this time of the year.  They seemed to be thankful to be rid of their winter coats.

I have to say that it is quite a transformation though. After being used to seeing them all wooly it was certainly strange to look at them all "naked!"

I am having a good time getting their wool processed though, all by hand. It is so soft, I love it! I even needle felted some and will have to get some pictures up...I am having too much fun.
