the wind blows....
and the farm country
slowly changes from the
Summer cotton into it's
Winter wools..."
Henry Beston
To a farmer, a full barn is like a pantry lined with canned goods from Summer's garden.
But without a ram...the chances are pretty close to 0%!!! (I must confess that I did check her udder! ;) I was a tad nervous that perhaps tiny man, Oliver Wendell was busy before he was banded.) She however was my only ewe that didn't lamb in the Spring, so she has plenty of fat stores....not to mention she likes to sneak in and eat grain with the other ewes who NEED it! She most emphatically does NOT need it!!!
