New Saltblock!

We got new saltblocks for the animals and it’s kind of funny to watch who really likes them and who could kind of care less.   Buttercup and the goats really like them.   They take a lick or two every time they pass by.   The sheep are sort of divided.  Some really like it, some just sniff and walk away.   Salt is a good thing, it helps them to regulate their body temperatures and just gives them some minerals and such as well.   We give free choice mineral and salt blocks.  Seems like it takes them a month or two to wear one away.

Everyone has been enjoying the new paddock…  they come and go, it’s very nice for them.   Everyone is being very laid back and enjoying the new baby lambs…   we were waiting on Pearl…  She took FOREVER to have her lamb!

Beulah and her baby Thistle.  She is letting us feed him but she does sort of hang out with him.   She protects him, just doesn’t really nurture him much.  It’s a weird situation.   Jessy is doing a great job of being his second mom.   He loves to get his bottles every couple hours.   And he’s growing up nicely.
