Where sheep may (loudly) graze

Eirene and the baby are doing well- the little one is up  and eating and bopping around, but Rene is being a very protective mom and has refused to indulge the paparazzi.  So far they've been sticking to the high grass up on the farthest pasture, always with a bull body-guarding to make sure that no adventurous farmer gets too close.  So we have to wait until she relents and moves to a pasture that has been eaten down.

In the meantime, pictures of sheep.

Last weekend we weaned Ziggy and put him over with the rams.  We also moved two CVM halfbreeds from Adam's parents' farm to ours.

Crowley is a CVM/Shetland cross

Fans of Neil Gaiman will recognize the names from Good Omens.  Aziraphale and Crowley, an angel and a demon- which suits our opposite little lambs.  They were not very happy about leaving their farm and their mothers, so we had a Greek chorus of lamb wailing all weekend long. 

Which was disruptive to just about everyone else on the farm, especially the ewes they are penned up with.

Even our super sweet Princess was desperate for them to shut up.

But they seem to have calmed down a bit, each day gets a little bit quieter, so we're hoping that the keening will stop altogether very soon.

Besides, Azi is way cuter when she's happy.
