Our 2009 lambing season is starting to wind down, so at last I'm posting the long-awaited lamb pictures. This isn't all of the lambs, but it's all of them that I have photos of so far.

I just love looking at your pictures. Unfortunately I do not know much about sheep. That one young black ram with the white foot and white leg looks like he dipped himself in the paint bucket. Looks like you are having a successful lambing season.
I also love to see pictures of your sheep, and hear stories of them from you. It is such an exciting adventure on your farm. Please come back to blogging about them more regularly!!!
Nancy:
Looking forward to meeting the gang!!!
peace out!

Love the coloring of Whirligig, Wheat, Wessex. All their sweet faces are too precious. How do you stand it?
All that cuteness is part of what my sheep pay me in exchange for all my hard work and care the rest of the year. I earned all that cuteness, so I enjoy it to the fullest! :-)
Wow! Quite a wild ride you must have had. So many kids! You must be feeling pretty good about your herd. But I have this strong urge to convert to vegetarianism when I see these overly cute little faces.
Just found your blog via ISBONA. Wow, what a beautiful group of lambs you have. I am so envious! This is our first year with sheep and we have 6 lambs, all very cute of course, but to have as many as you....oh...I would be in heaven!
Thanks Claire. Give it time, and you can have this many lambs too, if you want to. I've only been doing this for 4 years now. I started out with only 6!
well done on all those lambs! looks like you had fun with the "w" names -- you have some great ones. I agree with the previous commenter, please return to blogging more regularly.
