Winter Lambs

These Corriedale early January twins are the first lambs of my January/February lambing season.

Wheat, Winter

The winter wheat has a nice blanket of fresh snow.  This wheat field will "wake up" in early spring and be the first green plants we will see in Illinois.  Spring will be a  welcomed treat, after a long white winter.

Pink

The pink cloud is shedding light....on the sheep sheds.  The sheds are on skids and are moved for easy clean up with a loader, tractor, and manure spreader. The metal exterior looks nice and  slows the winter drafts.  The sheep seek shelter in the sheds, especially when pink clouds bring sheets of rain!

Fall lambs out to pasture

These ewes and fall lambs are enjoying this late fall pasture.

Fall twin lambs

This ewe had these nice Corriedale lambs this fall.  She has been a great mom to these twins!

Fall Wheat Fields

The apple and peach trees are framing the wheat field that was planted earlier this fall.  The wheat and wheat straw will be harvested July 2013. 

Cat Caught Napping

Rusty is ready to help with the lamb chores, but Cassie is wiper-ed out!
