The lambing jugs are empty now that Tricot (with Slate) and Theresa (with Quartz) have been set free. They both are excellent mothers, so it's doubly a relief.

| Tricot sticks close by Slate. |
 |
| Theresa is much louder now that's she's a mom. |
 |
| Theresa allows me to take a picture of Quartz. |
We also made some improvements to our creep feeding* set-up. What worked last year was not working this year. What you can't see in the picture below is me tossing chickens out, wrestling big(gish) sheep, helping lambs figure out how to get in, and convincing a llama he doesn't need baby food.

| Before |
Scott put together the new creep feeder with a little help from his friends. I ignored them and took random lamb pictures (coming soon)...and I did a little more wrestling with big sheep after Czadas figured out that I had peanuts in my pocket.
 |
| Yeti is a big helper! |
The new set up is effective for llama heads, most of the big(gish) sheep, but not the chickens. Hopefully, the lambs will take it into their own hooves to keep them away
like Acorn did last year.

| After |
* A creep feeder is a feeder that the lambs can "creep" into but the moms can't.
