First Snow Of The Season ~ Jacob Sheep

Our first real snow of the season.The sheep were licking the snow, but otherwise, it did not seem to phase them. And why should it? They are wearing their wool coats, bring on the snow !

My Sheep, Drawn by Bugs

My oldest grandson drew a picture of 2 of my sheep,Bide-a-wee Buttercup and her son, Cedar Pond's Barbarian.I am going to frame this drawing and hang it up on my wall. Thank-you Bugs !

Bluebonnet Vickie & Her Mom

Bide-A-Wee Buttercup ( left ) and her lamb I have named 'Cedar Pond's Bluebonnet Vickie'. Bluebonnet Vickie is the daughter of Cedar Pond's Goth too.The lambs from Buttercup have all been large, grown quickly, and pleased me.I am keeping Vickie, and hope to continue many generations from Buttercup, a ewe from a Huntsberger ram.

A Dog's Life

Sometimes it really is a dog's life. Naps on the porch are proof !

Daughter of Cedar Pond's Mara and Cedar Pond's Viking

Jacob Sheep yearling ewe, daughter of Cedar Pond's Mara & Cedar Pond's Viking.

I love her very strong 4 horns and her quirky face. I haven't named her yet, thinking of the name Tovah. The name Tovah sounds strong and feminine.I have high hopes for the lambs from her next year.

 

Update : I did name her Tovah and she has been a wonderful mama to her lambs. She is the mama of Cedar Pond's Toril and a new lamb I've not yet named.



Daughter of Swallow Lane Barnaby & Cedar Pond's Thora

This yearling ewe is the daughter of Swallow Lane Barnaby and Cedar Pond's Thora.

She broke her far left horn sparring with her siblings, but it is a strong horn, as all of her 4 horns, and is growing back out .

 The lamb to the right in back of her is her sister born this year to their mom, Cedar Pond's Thora.

 This is one of the friendliest sheep I have here. If you rustle a cracker wrapper she practically climbs you to check it out, and when the other sheep are keeping their distance from me, this ewe is following me around snuffling my hands and pockets.She is one of the sweetest sheep I have had in a long time.I haven't named her yet, thus far her registration papers read "Cedar Pond's ________".
