ok, we're 4 for 4 now on the rams!
All the lambs are in a separate pen with their mothers - and coyotes are on our doorstep. (which leads to me being up here at 3:42am... ) The dog was in the pen with the other sheep, but just throwing a fit, so I went out and moved him to the maternity pen and sure enough, we had stalkers outside that pen. I heard coyotes "screaming" several hours ago, but they were across the road and a ways off, but I guess it was their war cry as they were heading this way. But all should be well now.

I just love those coal black lambs! We are *this* close to getting a LGD.
ReplyDeleteI don't think you'd regret getting a LGD for a moment. I really don't know what we'd do without Rosco- he definitely lets us know when something is really wrong out there- his bark changes from "better stay away" to "mom, you better get out here and help because they're near the pen that I can't get to!" I'm starting to understand his language :) He's priceless.
