Snow, Again

It's snowing again.  You can't see it in this photo, but Hazel was eating snowflakes as they fell out of the sky.

 They don't hate snow, but I think they did get a little bored when stuck in the barn.

 The boys were bored enough to break down the divider separating them from the ewes.  All the ewes--even the non-pregnant ones--were together at the time as well. The boys were polite enough to do this on the weekends--it's a lot of work putting everyone back where they belong.  (Yeti was even more polite--he never left the boy area.)

 As if it weren't bad enough...  On the first occasion, Henrietta was in estrus.  We should be able to make a guess within the next few days if she is bred or not. 

Henrietta, very determined to have lambs

 Since the second breakthrough, Snowball has bedded down right along the divider.  (He stood up quickly this morning...)  He protects his ewes from everything, I guess.

In the meantime, I've been working on getting my shyer bred ewes to be a little less shy.  So far, it seems to be working.
