Precious, yes. They melt my heart.<br /><br />Shannon ( Kenleigh Acres) I usually let the mothers wean them, but sometimes I have to step in and save the moms. I have noticed the moms wean them by summer if left on their own.<br /><br />Mary, I understand completely. I have been tempted many times to get busy with another livestock breed, but my energy level and time limits remind me to practice some restraint!<br /><br />Sprouting Acorn, oh I say , get one, or two, or a flock!They're pretty cute and don't eat too much.<br /><br />Jo, thank-you. Happy Mother's Day to you too!KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-63301612289548691972010-05-09T00:45:55.364-07:002010-05-09T00:45:55.364-07:00Karen, me too!

I remember nursing my kids as they began to teethe..OWCH!<br /><br />Mildred, thank-you, I think so too.<br /><br />Timi, I love the photos of your lamb and will be posting it next week. Thank-you.<br /><br />Delores,the new born lambs are so white with such very black spots. Then they become "whitish"....then beige. Until shearing time! The lamb does look like a stuffed animal, this one is stuffed with mama's milk.<br /><br />Susie, it IS fun!<br /><br />Amy, baby ducklings are awfully cute too, and they are soft and fuzzy. ( no big hay bills either)<br /><br />Pondside, NO ducklings either?<br /><br />Lanny, I am enjoying the turkeys. I forgot how sweet baby turkeys are.<br /><br />Jami, thank-you~<br /><br />My Letters To Emily, that is a sweet memory!<br /><br />Julie, the new jacob lambs are so tiny at first, and I love to check out their soft ears, very soft feet, and marvel that a creature so fragile in appearance is so able to be up and running shortly after birth.<br /><br />Nancy M., You have to see the ram lambs nursing to believe just how hard they do ram their mom's udders!KathyB.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13076933273610590290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-38678370455641813912010-05-08T23:36:33.308-07:002010-05-08T23:36:33.308-07:00Saffron and Sesame are gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeou...Saffron and Sesame are gorgeous, gorgeous, gorgeous...!<br /><br />Mama and baby.<br /><br />Happy Mother's Day, Kathy...!Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03382221688268676914noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-82882260702087796922010-05-08T21:12:03.438-07:002010-05-08T21:12:03.438-07:00Simply adorable.

It is a good thing I am way too busy with my duties as it is, I can definitely see me wanting to raise a few sheep.<br /><br />Iris, one of my alpine does, adopted a buck in addition to her two does. She still comes to the milk stand, and I load her up with grain, however I will not milk her again until the kids are weaned. And I will be the one that will be seeing to that. I noticed yesterday a torn piece of skin on one of her teats. No doubt from teeth. Can you just imagine the agony between "knocking" the udder, kid's teeth, and in your sheep's case, long horns as well?<br /><br />The dam's are definitely patient while they need to be, and then wise to wean them.Maryhttp://www.anniesgoathill.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3099877799576584609.post-35617520291090900222010-05-07T19:48:57.708-07:002010-05-07T19:48:57.708-07:00She is precious :)
