It’s not clear to me why the Dorsets are so fond of Bravo’s doghouse.
I think they spent more time in a barn in their previous lives than most of my sheep, but maybe they just have clown car envy.

I noticed this morning that #701, the first (surviving) lamb born on the farm, is getting very close to her mother’s size. The ewe probably has 4 inches of fleece bulking her up, while the lamb has perhaps an inch, so the size difference is smaller than it appears. I don’t know enough to claim that this is an exceptionally fast-growing lamb, but I’m amazed that the calories from grass and a little bit of corn can produce such a large creature in four months.

The lambs are starting to think they own the place.
