The birds are chirping, the bees are buzzing, and we’re staring at sheep backsides. At least this year Andy knows the difference between a sheep pooing and a sheep having a lamb.
This time around we only bred Pearl and Sadie because Pumpernickel and her baby (who sadly still does not have a name) are puny. We don’t need to make more puny sheep. Pearl appears to be getting pretty close to popping. Her uddery bits got a lot bigger this weekend, and today she looked really waddly. Sadie has pretty big uddery bits but not as big as Pearl’s, so I think Sadie has a bit longer to go. Who knows.
I really hope everything goes okay this year, and I don’t have to put on those elbow-length gloves again.
I burst out laughing at the comment about Andy! How much we can learn in a year!
I’m in the same boat as you: spending all my free time looking at sheep backsides.
Good luck with lambing. I hope Pearl and Sadie make you some lovely non-puny lambs. Their sisters and cousins here are getting ready to do the same for me.
