Free Ranging

Now that the nights are getting cold, the grass is losing its protein content. Which means the sheep aren't getting all the nutrients they need solely from the grass in their pastures. A. has been letting the lambs out of the paddock to roam and find good, ungrazed grass on the lawns around the house.

They also like to, ahem, fertilize the lawns. And the walkways around the house. Gross.

Other than being big, dirty, annoying animals...they are pretty cute.

It's a good thing there aren't sheep nearby, I'd be forced to squeeze their fluffy butts.

Because I'm a freak like that.

Don't step in any, um, fertilizer.

Hey, you get to watch them, pet them, feed them and eat them. And all they ask in return is to poop on your lawn. Just wait till the Bear Cub discovers it. He's not going to want to wear a diaper or use the toilet.
