On Monday, May 17th, Eric and the oldest boys picked up three sheep at a local farm. They’ll be 4-H projects (market lambs) for Dash, Angelina, & Zeke.
The littlest lamb is quite wild; during unloading (I wasn’t present) she got away from Eric, knocked Graham over and stepped on his hand. Ouch! … thankfully lambs aren’t as heavy and their hooves aren’t as hard as adult sheep. Graham wasn’t deterred & stuck around to see the lambs settled in their pen. Angelina has been given the task of calming the wild lamb … she does a good job of gentling animals.
Today, the kids & Eric took the lambs for a walk. They’ll be taking them for a walk every morning and most evenings, too.
What wonderful experiences for your kids!! They'll be sad to see the lambs go!
