Muddy & Scruffy


It's muddy near the barn.  Parsley still manages to look clean.


Tarragon is losing some of his fleece.  Specifically, it's where his chubby belly rubs the poles of the creep feeder when he squeezes in for his meals. 


Beryl's bright orange coat works with her coloring, don't you think?


Sequoia, along with a lot of the other ewes who are in full fleece, are looking scruffy.  Every bit of their fleeces that are outside of their sheep coats are filled with hay.  (Hence the need for the coats!) Sequoia also has managed to get her leg out of her coat. 


Sassy is looking elegant, but Opal?  Not so much. It looks like she's due to go up a coat size, too...which means it's time for me to start sewing.


 Peanut is hiding behind Marble in this picture.  She went up two coat sizes this morning is now wearing the biggest size we have (other than the coat Yeti is wearing).  The good new is that her fleece looks amazing!


 I'm looking forward to seeing what Acacia is hiding under her coat.  From her exposed fleece, it looks like she's darkened this year. (Mimosa is peeking from behind.)

 Pawlonia was sheared in October.  Her fleece is growing really fast!
