Title: Spring?
Post by: Penninehillbilly on April 30, 2022, 01:56:02 pm
Sheep are acting weird today, bouncing round like lambs, chasing each other round, even little welshy that should be due anytime.
Only thing I can think of is they can sense a change in the air?

Tasty grass, sun on their backs and just full of the joys of spring.

They are the same here.

It's been rainy and cold here today, so the sheep are all either sheltering by the hedges or lazing in a shelter - Hebs know how to be comfortable.
I find it hilarious when adults hare around with the lambs, pregnant bellies and full udders swinging  :hugsheep: Pure joy  ;D

Gentle rain yesterday evening/overnight, Iheads down and munching this morning, presume rain has sweetened grass, and I'm sure it's grown since yesterday.  :)
FW, goats are even funnier, the Toggenburgs, hair flopping/flying everywhere, hind legs swinging one direction while their bouncy udders go in other direction. Wish i'd had a camera  :roflanim:

 :roflanim: :roflanim: I can just picture that  :goat: ;D  Not having goats is quite a regret for me but too late now as I couldn't care for them.  But I can appreciate others lovely goats  :excited:
