A Little Bit of Everything

My pictures are mostly random this time.  There's ....

...one of the big boys...
Hawk
....some moms and their lambs....

Fog and Opal

Cyclone and Elvira
 ...grown-up ewes... (Molly and Pawlonia look like they are up to something!)

Myrtle waits for the good scratching post.
...and lambs, of course.

There are no pictures of Barack O'Llama.  We sheared him over the weekend. Barack was not the best behaved llama in the world, and it is likely he will need a touch-up sometime during the summer.

Not Just Lambs

I've been posting a lot of pictures of the lambs recently and ignoring the older sheep.  Today, some of the ewes are getting their turn.  (The rams will have to wait a little while longer!)

First up is Pawlonia, who looks more and more like her grandmother Hazel every day.

More lookalikes: Cashew and her (a few years ago) lamb Myrtle.  Those who have been reading the blog for awhile might remember that Myrtle was the lamb with the broken leg.  She has done really well.

I also managed to get some pictures of some of the white ewes.  It's not that it's too hard to get pictures of them, but often I can't tell them apart after the pictures are taken!   Fortunately, it's been getting much easier as they are getting older.

Blizzard and Avalanche, Theresa's twin rams, are so similar that I either have to see them at the same time or read their ear tags to be certain who is who.

Typhoon is one of a kind...Well, not really.  He looks a lot like older siblings Acacia and Clove.  His fleece hasn't shown any evidence of lightening like theirs, so he might stay dark brown.
