It's been one year since we brought home our original ewes--Calico, Sandy, Hazel, Henrietta, Elvira, Elsie, and Theresa. They've had a busy year: birthing lambs, meeting new friends, and being courted by a youthful ram. We humans have had a busy year, too. We've had a lot to learn, from inserting ear tags to transporting sheep to castrating rams.

All together (well, not including Theresa since she was still a baby at the time), the ewes birthed 6 ewes and 2 rams (who are now wethers).

They met lots of new chickens, some llamas, and four new sheepy friends. The new girls--Tiffany, Tricot, and Czadas--are fitting right in.

They also met Gunpowder. Sometimes they think he's annoying; at other times, they love him.

| One happy ram: Gunpowder* |
* Gunpowder is no longer wearing his harness. This is an old picture. It's hard to get a good picture of him. Even though he's sweet and gentle, one does not want to sit on the ground in front him. He is a ram, after all.
