Last week was an exciting one at the farm.  We added 6 new animals.  I've already introduced Faith and Hope.  Here are the others.

 DUDE

        Dude is a young jack (intact male) whom we bought from Bayfield Farm (same farm that Babe came from).  It is our hope he will breed Ruby and Jade.  So far Ruby and Jade don't think much of him.  Hopefully they will warm to him over time.  Right now they are claiming to have headaches....:)

 OPAL

          Opal is a weanling jenny that had been in the same pasture as Babe at Beyfield Farm.  She is a real beauty and her purpose right now is to be Babe's stablemate but who knows, maybe one day she and Dude will get together.   Dude seems to have more interest in Opal right now but that's because he knows she's pure....

LEAH AND DINAH

           Losing our barbado Sarah and her lambs was heartbreaking for us.  Simone, her daughter, has also been sad because the only sheep she has to pal around with are those stinky Cheviots and Babydolls.  Like people, sheep like to hang with their own kind if possible.  They form other relationships but its not the same.  So - while we were picking up Opal and Dude we asked to have a couple of Barbados sheep hanging around in a pasture looking like they needed a change.  Leah is mom to Dinah (for those who know their Bible, Leah was wife of Jacob and mother to Dinah.)   If they are willing, I will breed them to Moses along with all the other ewes.  These girls are small and have beautiful markings.
