Sheep Shearing and Esther's New Lamb!

Here is the latest news...
Joel came by to shear the sheep this morning, 6 bags of wool fleeces to clean and spin! After he left, I went out to clean up the barn and bring the fleeces into the house and found Esther in the barn with a brand new baby on the ground still covered with the sack. She is small so I think maybe the stress of sheering brought her early.

Here are some pics of my naked sheep and new baby lamb.

Esther is a first mother, so we need to watch her close to make sure she lets the baby eat and takes care of her properly. Usually, it is instinctive, but sometimes new moms just don't always know what to do. She was cleaning and pawing at her to get her moving. She didn't want to get up right away, but finally, she was on her feet. Mama getting her sparkling clean!

Shabbat Shalom to everyone!
