Almost ready! We have just a bit of fencing to do to get the system up and running. It's located behind our barn in the ewe's paddock.
And for those who have been asking.....lambs!

It may be a little difficult to see but this is our new handling system! All 1300+ pounds of it! Fortunately we have a very nice young man (Thanks a million Travis!) who lives next door to us who was kind enough to come over with a bobcat to unload this from the semi parked on the road in front of our house today (or I very well might have had an aching back!). I can't wait to unwrap this and get it all set up. The sheep have no idea what is in store for them.
Okay so I might still have one more aching back coming my way while we get it all set up......

Born today May 1st our second to the last lamb for 2008:
Kimberwood Alice
(named for her Grand Dam)
Moorit? or Musket? Yuglet ???
Out of BluffCountry Glitter and Kimberwood Gentry
I've never had one so white and not Awt! Mom is musket and dad is moorit.
Only one more ewe left to lamb and she isn't due until May 18th. This shepherd will hopefully get some rest by then!
