Unexpectedly Expecting

This past Fall, Adam and I decided that since the yaks would be breeding for the first time, we would take a year off of sheep.  We moved the rams to the other side of the barn, even though they were less than a year old and (we thought) not yet ready for breeding.  We planned on putting them all back together this fall, and then having lambs against next spring.

The sheep had other plans.

We apparently separated the ewes and rams too late, because Dutchess is pregnant.

Very, very pregnant.

So we will have lambs popping sometime in the very near future. 

In the meantime, Cisco is keeping a watchful border collie eye on everything sheep.

(And yes, he is sitting in the lavender boxes.  Of course.)
