JUNIPER UPDATE:
Juniper now weighs 15lbs and is religiously taking her bottle like a trooper 5-6 times a day. She spends her days at the barn, playing with all the other little lambs and trying desperately to catch on to the whole eating hay thing, and her evenings in the bathtub. When Juniper is in the house however she now wears a diaper so our lives are exponentially easier and we are not chasing her all over the place with paper towels :p Recently she has been taking her morning bottle on the veranda with Mom and her morning coffee before the short walk to the barn. LAMB COUNT:
8-Ewes 6-Rams
We had TWO sets of twins born today!
IN OTHER NEWS......
While doing some internet surfing Mom came across a fiber festival in Long Island, NY that we are looking in to going to as vendors. This would be great exposure for our little farm and for networking in the fiber community. This festival will be the weekend of May 18th just two short weeks after we will be at the Maryland Sheep and Wool Festival as the Texel Breed Display.Right: Juniper sporting her purple monkey diaper
We are definitely looking forward to the warmer weather coming our way! Take care and I will blog again soon! Until then here are some pictures to hold you over!
