Carrying togetherness to a stupid degree.

The only muddy legs in the paddock! What posessed my twin ewe lambs to BOTH get bogged up to their bellies in the mud in the almost empty dam? I didn't see it, so they managed to escape, I can only wonder who led who astray, was it Fay, or was it Tilly that went in first? Another thought, will it teach them not to do it again? Stay tuned.

And, to make matter worse, what were these rotten sheep eating when I took that photo? Part of my Black Wattle. Much tastier than the high protein fodder roll they reckon. At the moment they look like good lamb chops to me, so they'd better behave themselves.

That would be right Betty..

And of course nothing but the best with food..

I reckon they were playing follow the leader, Mary-Anne.

little devils lol. that wattle must be real tasty

Yes they do that dont they..

very cute Betty

Love the sheep ,and some people say sheep are stupid.

Ota, they've been pruning my wattles ever since they got higher than my tree guards, but never got a branch that size. It was just hanging by a thread so I sawed it off for them.
Gwen, in some ways they can be dumb, like if they get their heads stuck in the wire around a fodder roll they won't try to walk backwards and pull it out, and they won't be pushed back, pushing on their heads. I have to grab them by their big fat bottoms and pull. It's like they only have a forward gear. Other than that I think they are pretty smart.

They are a nice looking bunch...

Thanks, Jennywren, but you are too kind. Because the lambs have Dorper in them they are so ugly, with their big floppy ears, that only their mother could love them really.

Put your glasses on Betty

I think they are lovely looking sheep as sheep go, nothing wrong with floppy ears either ..

Dream on, Mary-Anne. Even the guy who owned the ram they were by thinks this sort of floppy eared sheep is ugly. Now, the Border Leicester crossed with a floppy eared ewe should be real funny. Floppy ears and a roman nose. The ram looks a bit better now he has some fleece again, doesn't he?
