Busy, Busy, Busy

A lot has been going on around here.  All the sheep born here have new ear tags.   Sheep missing ear tags also have new ones.  (Tricot is still waiting on hers.  We'll have to punch a hole in her ear, something we don't want to do until the weather has cooled off a bit more and there are less flies.)

Hopefully, Beryl won't lose this one!
Feldspar getting a new tag--they weren't all this easy!
 Most--but not all--of the girls have been coated.

Elsie wonders where her coat is.

Coating is not easy, especially when Galena is involved.
Cashew and Hazel know what's coming....

Once again, Elvira cannot find her baby.  (This year, the coats had been thoroughly washed.)

"Where's my baby, and what's that green thing following me?"
This year's rams have moved to the back field.  It wasn't what we initially set out to do, but it's working well.  Almond and Snowball have moved in with them.  That, of course, means that Barack O'Llama and Snowball are separated.  They both seem to be enjoying it--especially Snowball who can now eat in peace!

Yum.
