The snow has all melted, and things have dried out enough to get the pregnant ewes out. They needed their spring dewormer. Afterward, as a treat, they got to be lawn mowers around the guesthouse and shop.
I sat under the shop porch and watched while reading the mail. They spend a lot of time wandering around, and they often get into trouble. Someone needs to be observing when they’re out in that area.
They certainly enjoyed the fresh grass. My tulips are up, but not flowering. They left the tulip leaves alone. Last year, they ate the flowers once, so once I’ve got buds, I don’t think they can be out in this area if I want to keep them.
They go out to the main pastures this week. Lambing is technically due as early as April 22nd, but it will more likely start on the 27th of April.
