Feeling sad for my little Thelma tonight. Three days ago her mama left for another farm and tonight her brother got on the trailer. She screamed and cried while looking at the trailer. As they pulled away I went and sat with her. She laid down next to me, put her head on my arm and closed her eyes. I let her have 20 minutes of snuggle and I opened up a fresh paddock to hopefully help give her some sort of comfort 😭

Home from Iowa/Nebraska. A weekend of lots of driving, and enjoyed connecting with shepherdess friends. A sneak peak (because it was fairly dark in the barn when we got home) at my three new BRI ewes. Mouflon 19G, Grabotni/Raftur, Hansa Myrkvi, and the black badgerface ewe, Jonas.

Lambs have been loud this week. I think mom’s are saying, “no more milk”, and sparing has started.
