Punkin's Friends

Well, you knew this would happen.  It's spring 2006 and we have babies again.  What are we
 thinking?!?  Do you know how hard it is, as amateurs, to shear 20 sheep?  But, they are so
 darn fun to watch - sigh.

In July of 2003 we added a small flock of Jacob Sheep.  With babies the next spring and two new ewes from Painted Rock Farm the following fall, we were "full up" with 10.  Of course, it sure is fun to have a few babies around.... :-)

Peabody

Peabody was a gift from Crystal Springs Farm in Paris, Kentucky.  He is a Cheviot and was born in the spring of 2004.  As the new CEO, Peabody realizes he has very large shoes to fill, but as you can see, he's already hard at work learning the ropes.

Popcorn PeePee Pants

PP was born February 19, 2005.  She was a gift from Peabody's family.  Her mother didn't want to take good care of her, so she got to come live with us in our kitchen.   We were sad when she grew up and moved out, although Peabody is glad for her company.

Thanks Leslie :-).
