Out of Eve

Early this morning (sometime before 7:30 am) our eldest ewe, Little Eagle Eve, delivered a single white ram lamb. He's very sweet and friendly. He is the spitting image of his dam and is sired by Hidaway Andes Mint.

We don't normally buy alfalfa cubes but they were nearly the same price as cracked corn at the farm store so we're trying a bag. All goats and sheep got a sample cube today. About half thought I was trying to feed them a rock and the other half devoured them straight away.

Should be more lambs arriving about mid-month. Kayla, our kindliest fleeced ewe, is due the 23rd.
