Lambs & Calves

Yesterday I took my friend Emma to meet my other friend Natalie. Both of them are as nutty about sheep as I am, so I was sure they would get along swimmingly. It was a scorcher of a day so we went out to meet Natalie's sheep.





A beauty of a boy - only what could be expected for Bob's nephew.



Victoria the Border Leicester.





Sunny's sister Belle.







Natalie also got a couple of foster lambs off me - including this Fronteira/Dorset/Texel mixture of a ewe lamb.




Their adoptive mother Merry.









A better look at Victoria's impressive ears.



Nutmeg.



Pretty Belle again!



Her sister Dahlia.



The sheep were relaxing in the hazy sunshine.























Bob's sister came over to meet Emma.





Cheeky Biscuit.



I can't get enough of these Zwartbles/Texels.



Hello there.



A cute Texel pair.





Tiny little pet lamb Thumbelina.



And her much larger friend Star.



They know where the milk is anyway.





I can never get enough of a big lamb, tiny lamb combo.



After a delicious lunch and a little chat in the house, I left Emma home and went to meet some of her claves. This one was less than a day old.





It was a good, sunny day for him to be out.



Mum was calling for him.



So he got up. However, when you're all legs and only a few hours old, this can take some effort. He got this far and had to take a break.



Up at last!





Holly the farm dog.



Vicky the farm lamb.



Bruce the farm silly. Like Sue, he's quite silly but super cute and fluffy.





Jewel.



Her son Magee.



The last time I met Marley he was just a tiny baby. He's getting so grown up already!





Got to keep the energy up!



I just loved meeting everyone's baby animals.
