The New Girls and Another Moo Neighbor

We brought home three Shetland ewes today: Tiffany, Tricot, and Czadas.  There's a bit of a long story, but...they are lovely girls with lovely fleeces.

They are hanging out in the back of the barn until everyone gets adjusted.

We didn't think the adjustment period would take long, but Barack O'Llama is acting a tad concerned...

"What is happening around here?"

... and some of the sheep are following his lead.  When I went out to check on everyone, I found most of the sheep crowded into Barack's stall.  (Henrietta, Macadamia, and Cashew were at least being friendly.) 

Imagine some baaing...
In the back pasture, a big change went a bit more smoothly...so far.  Cute Little Moos/Sally (depending on who you ask) has moved into the back pasture with Snowball and the boy sheep.  It's sort of her halfway house--making the transition from barn to pasture a little easier on her. All the animals in the back are all happily ignoring each other.
