Lamb Count

We are up to 114 lambs! Things are seriously slowing down in the lambing department, so we don't expect many more, but I am sure a few more will surprise us.

Moving the sheep and all the lambs is definitely a challenge. The lambs don't really get the idea of moving on to greener pastures. They seem to prefer to hang out where they last were. The lambs don't really respond to being herded. The only way to get the stragglers is to have them follow an adult sheep. Yesterday we moved the flock from one side of the farm to the other. Owen and I acted as sheep dogs and completely exhausted ourselves.
