Cuties

T.J. and Robin, my new Bluefaced Leicester/Border Leicester twins, are coming along nicely.  I'm already planning to partition off a bigger space for them in the barn where there will be space for them to romp safely away from all the big sheep.  It's pretty cold out there, but with sweaters on and milk in their bellies I'm confident they will be fine.  I'm waiting on Lilly's lamb and trying to keep her strength up with cracked corn snacks and molasses water.  Lilly is an aged ewe and is rather thin.  Fingers crossed she has a single, and it comes when I am around.  That would be a miracle, unless she waits for Christmas break.  I could not be that lucky.  Robin is just precious.  Don't you love those pointy, Bluefaced Leicester ears?
