The sheep arrive

Our sheep arrive... and without much delay begin to enjoy an early dinner. There are more stories, but for now, here are some photos...


Quinn (foreground) and Cozette (background) sample the new greenery. Quinn even gave the dead thistle a try.


Orange, on the left, tries some crispy dead cottonwood leaves. Yummm!


Here we have the young ram, Indico, Orange in the middle, Cozette on the right, and Quinn still in the shelter checking out the goldenrod.


In the foreground here is Rose, the most tame of them all. She will come up and nose your hands to see if you have grain. Rose is also the most vocal, "baa-aa-ing" whenever she sees someone, expecting treats of course!


Quinn


Quinn again.
