Frosty morn

Frosty mornings give way to warm beautiful days. The weather is perfect, it's a shame the daylight hours are not as long as summer days. The sheep really enjoy this weather. It will be time to shear their wooly coats soon. The bred ewes will be shorn before lambing, probably late January, lambs should start arriving in March. Last lambing season the weather was almost hot. The cooler fall days brought the ewes in heat early this year,so the lambs should arrive before the warmer weather. There are several first timers to lamb next spring, so I used a very sweet Finn ram, very colorful and should have nice fleeces for handspinning. Finn sheep are small and have multiple small lambs making it easier on the new moms.
