Cam with Clover—and the ladies and Colorado . . .

May 02, 2014/ Sarah Zschau

Our lady ewes are awaiting birth in the barn—with new bedding, fresh water...and the protection of Colorado (or young ram). Clover and her twins (girl and boy, 11 and 9 lbs respectively) are in back area. Feeding well. All is good and weather is warm. Cam has this amazing connection with the animals. Clover is one of his favorite—and you can see it here. The sheep are lovely. Watching carefully (their body...their breathing....the motion) you can know when they begin to labor. They are graceful animals.
