The Lamb Playground

The lambs' pen was finally expanded today to include the much-loved rock playground. All nine lambs experiment with jumping, climbing, and hopping. Favorite games for the afternoon included Follow the Leader and King of the Mountain.

Below are the seven moorit (brown shaded) lambs. This picture really captures the variety of browns in Shetlands.

Even Kira's little ram wants to be King. Here he's pushing Clover's much larger ram off the rock.

Poa's little ewes are doing quite well. They have perfect little Shetland tails and are quite feminine. Poa is a much more attentive mom this year than she was last year to twin rams. These girls are always within her sight.

  1. Looks like a lot of fun for them :) Mine play king of the pit, with the small hole in the pasture slope. If only children were so entertained.
