Weekends, gotta' love 'em

It's finally the weekend! Even though we only had a three-day school week (thanks to some snow days), it seemed to drag on. With a beautiful, snow-covered day, the kids and I went out to get a few chores done at the barn. After the work, we got out  the Polaris and pulled the sleds behind it. The sheep were glad to be fed and a new set of twins were bouncing around exploring the barns and field.

Time to fill the troughs

The newest ram on the farm
The newest ewe
These newborns look so little compared to the other lambs
It took her a while to catch this one
Banding time
The sheep like being out in the fields, even on cold days
Sheep will follow a feed bucket anywhere, anytime
The bigger they get, the harder it gets to hold them

The chickens are always looking for the next meal

Guess what was for lunch? Nothing like 'taters-n-eggs. Don't worry, the chicken is still alive...

While the feeding gets done, Charlie is always close by. He's not only the guardian of the sheep but his family.
