Little Lambs

Warning!  Cuteness Ahead

Yesterday I spent a few hours at a local farm owned by a friend.  It’s the same one I visited last spring to see the sheep and lambs.  From that visit, I had photos of the lambs when they were a few months old.  It’s lambing season at that farm now, so all of the lambs are less than two weeks old.  My words can’t compete with the cuteness of these lambs, so I’ll just leave you with photos.

Visiting Sheepies

Jim’s been helping out on a local farm by pruning fruit trees and other things he wants to learn how to do.  The farm that he’s at also has sheep, and for a while I’ve wanted to see the sheep.  On Thursday, I got out of work a few minutes early.  Jim was still at the farm, so I finally went over to meet the sheep.  They’re Shropshire sheep, which the farm raises primarily for the meat.  But, she does have some people that request the fleeces.  We may go over and help on shearing day.

Perhaps it’s just my suburban upbringing, but I find visiting the sheep so much fun.  I used my cell phone to grab a few photos of the lambs.  Most of them were born in January, so they’re already getting big.
