Snow and sheep.

I love winter on the ranch, especially when everything is frosted in snow.  Today I caught a spectacular photo of our flock patriarch, Teddy.  He has been a terrific
ram for us so far; mild mannered, and very stately.  We've been pleased with our lamb crop from him this year.

Teddy's horn spread has developed nicely and he has given us some nice looking lambs this season.

For a young ram, his face shows such wisdom and calmness.

End of our lambegeddon.

It has been a very interesting winter here at the ranch.  We have had at least 3" of snow on the ground here since the beginning of the year.  The first big wave of snowfall ushered in our first lambs of the season born to Cocoa, who delivered a very darling brown ewe and a spirited brown and white ram.  Later than same week, another snowfall came as did our next lamb.  The next week another significant snow and yet more lambs.  So of course since it's now February and snowing, must mean that...yup, time for another lamb!  This is the last in our series until April.  Maa, our oldest ewe delivered a single black ewe lamb yesterday and she is sweet.

Say "cheese"!

Proud mamma and baby.
