Ladies in Waiting

Minerva is one of my Ladies-In-Waiting. I am amazed she hasn't delivered yet. Notice how wide and low she is carrying. Minerva is part Cheviot and getting on in years. In her younger days she was very athletic, as Cheviot sheep are. Cheviots are known for being fiercely protective mothers and Minerva is just that. My other moms to be are lying around resting their big round bellies. I'm hoping for some more ewe lambs as I've been having quite a few boys. That's okay - I just do some alterations on them and they won't be bothering anyone...
