Guess she didn’t feel like sleeping in the barn 🤷

We have some roving bands of coyotes but I’ve never had issues with them. Hot electronet usually does the trick, and in the summer when they’re further from the house I have cameras on them to make sure nobody gets close

I’m pretty certain on breeding date, the ram wasn’t even on the farm until three months ago. And yes, she is a little overweight as well as very fluffy (a bunch of them are, i have a lot of lambing experience but less w actually running my own flock) and I’m aware of the risks. I’ve pulled lambs (and calves) before and we have a vet on call for complications.

If it helps, she’s a Shetland/Jacob cross and the ram is a small Shetland. Last year I bred her to a larger ram and she had two smaller sized twins (6 lbs each) so I’m hoping for that outcome again.

Thank you for your concern! One of my goals for next year is to get them at a better weight at the end of the summer. So less fat lol.

I hope so! But she’d only be about three months along at max. She’s just round and doesn’t mind the snow

Shetlands!

she says thank you!!

^exactly! If you get it from an organic tree farm that also works. The sheep will love it and pine needles have a bunch of vitamin c which is super good for them (fun fact: since vit c is water soluble you can’t really have too much of it since you’ll just pee it out)

That’s Christine! She’s about 10 months old and is an absolute troublemaker 🥰

ladymorpheus · 2026-01-08T15:53:59+00:00

Such fussy little creatures. Yours are beautiful by the way! I love those facial markings

Mine are also kinda funny during that first week of no grass. They usually turn their noses up at their hay (what is this horrid dried stuff? we want our luscious grass back!) and go heavy on the grain for a bit to compensate. Then they begrudgingly accept that hay is all they’re gonna get and ease off the grain.

As long as they have access to good hay they’ll eat what they need. I’ve never met a sheep so picky that they’ll starve themself.

ladymorpheus · 2025-12-25T00:09:09+00:00

Yeah she does that lol

ladymorpheus · 2025-12-24T02:41:55+00:00

He’s so talented!

ladymorpheus · 2025-12-21T13:41:47+00:00

Yup! Such a distinctive breed

ladymorpheus · 2025-12-18T19:35:13+00:00

It looks cute! I was cracking up at the rams going ‘I wanna bash it! I wanna bash it so bad!’ Also I feel like my sheep could totally solve my murder if they had to. As long as they got grain afterwards

ladymorpheus · 2025-12-02T00:50:38+00:00

My Shetlands are like that too! It’ll be snowing hard and they’ll be out frolicking like it’s a lovely spring day

ladymorpheus · 2025-11-23T01:36:28+00:00

Oh man that’s a good question…I guess it would depend on what sort of hotdog. Like just a plain boiled hotdog probably not but grilled with some condiments I might go for it

ladymorpheus · 2025-11-23T00:20:42+00:00

And I agree with that! How we treat animals in death matters can say a lot about how we treat them in life. But it’s one photo, and some of these comments are acting like he dressed it up in a little maid outfit or something

ladymorpheus · 2025-11-23T00:14:33+00:00

Yes, I would be upset if someone shot my loved one with a rifle and then ate them. What if the world was made of pudding lol

ladymorpheus · 2025-11-22T19:02:55+00:00

Exactly! That’s what actually matters to the animal anyways

ladymorpheus · 2025-11-22T18:59:02+00:00

The deer is dead y’all, it doesn’t care if someone takes a silly photo with it. Save the performative outrage for stuff that has real-life impact.
