Shearing Day...

It was March 1st 2009.

It was about 7 degrees F.

I have a retired vet that I'm friends with that owns this flock of sheep. Mostly South Down Finns but there are some crosses. The way I understand the story, this man's family was one of the first to bring the South Down Finn to the United States. He's an amazing man and I soak every second I get with him completely up. It was 7 degrees outside..hello.

So when I got there these little jewels had just been born. They were about two minutes old.

All freshly bathed by Mama. Aren't they so sweet. They were so friendly and had SO much energy. They were literally hopping all over.

This was so cute to see. This cat was like little Mother sheep....she tried to curl up with the lambs over and over....and this one let her.
