Getting Out

We ran Gabby and the lambs to the near pasture today, partially to give Gabby a break from being pushed up against a wall and forced to nurse her princess of a daughter (who to our knowledge does not nurse at all on her own, but will drink heartily when prompted with a shot of goat milk and placed in the right position), and partially to give the little ewe a lesson in the outside world. She doesn’t seem to connect very well with her kin, but she stayed with everyone in the field and slept beside her brothers. The lamb pictured is one of the boys, who is already becoming a challenge to pick up (because they are growing so fast).
