At least one of the ewes is not pregnant, as evidenced by Emmylou being in raging heat earlier this week. Bateman is not capable of doing the job, as his legs have not healed enough yet. So today we got this guy. He's called Kevin, I think the ewes like him!

It was nice this afternoon so I tried to let Champagne and the boy out for a bit to enjoy the sun.
She took one look at the snow and mud and went back in. Corkscrew was very interested but is a good boy who sticks with mama lol

The sheep just... don't go in the barn? I haven't even seen them going down to eat hay in ages. Yet they continue to be fat and happy in the far field. I guess I picked the right sheep.

I can FEEL the babies in there. They're all knobbly. No sign of Champagne releasing the hostages any time soon.

Behold! Bateman is walking ON HIS FEET! Mostly anyway. He still can't get up if his legs are on the left, which is where they usually go.

Kid1 is out trying to get a deer, which makes Heimdall VERY VERY NERVOUS. So he has come inside to enjoy some peanut butter and puppy Xanax.
There will be no more neighborhood escapades!

The chickens have been EVICTED FROM MY HOUSE and are now thriving in the coop.
Thank God. I did not realize how irritating they truly were.
