Rebecca in look at my mane mode. 3 weeks from her annual sheering. She grows the longest fleece of our herd and gets this Elizabethan ruff around her neck.

Tillie has such beautiful eyes. Sheep get a bad rap as timid, non-thinking conformists, but they all have their own personalities and will definitely let you know what they want! #SmallFarmLife #HeritageBreeds #GulfCoastNativeSheep

A very close up photo of a young Gulf Coast Native ram's face. He looks slightly concerned about the state of the world and the mental health of good folks everywhere greed and cruelty have taken the lead.
Baron just wants to make sure everyone is taking care of themselves and being kind to themselves and others. Stay well and don't let the bastards win, find a tiny piece of joy to hold onto each and every day. #SelfCare #kindness #GulfCoastNativeSheep #HeritageBreeds #SmallFarmLife

3 Narragansett turkeys perched on a field fence. A Gulf Coast Native ewe looks through a wooden gate. The morning sun shines down on all.
Saturday morning at the farm. #SmallFarmLife #GulfCoastNativeSheep #NarragansettTurkey #HeritageBreeds #weekend

A young Gulf Coast Native ram grazing on a summer evening
Baron having a relaxing evening snack. I've been working a lot with him to (hopefully) nip behavior issues in the bud. He's a sweet boy but does get excitable and he's stronger than he looks! #GulfCoastNativeSheep #SmallFarmLife #sheep

They are on lush pasture all day, but still a feeding frenzy when brought in at night. Enjoy your minute of zen. #gulfcoastnativesheep

The sheep always follow the same path to the field, even if they have grazed the whole path clean. They also will make some passing lanes, where slower sheep can be passed. Instinct, I guess makes them do this, and we find it interesting.

Emilia (L) and her March lamb Chloe (R) wondering what you all are up to. They are bored, sitting around ruminating until the shepard opens the gate this morning. #SkySheep #GulfCoastNativeSheep

A couple of cute lamb pictures, it looks like the bown ewe (with Parents Sebastian and Emilia) will be name Perdita. The white ram is still waiting a name to come to him. About a week old.

So about 2 weeks ago I posted pictures of Emilia with Hypocalcemia and our work to get her back to health. Yesterday she gave birth to a beautiful brown ewe lamb. A large 8.5 lbs at birth on the pasture. Emilia has brown spots but is throwing nice brown lambs.

We put the ewes on fence cleaning duty. This blue-eyed grass grows right outside their paddock. Their main pasture a bit brown from a freeze, so they will gobble this up in a day. #SkySheep #SmallFarmLife

It was a soggy, miserable day -- but Gulf Coasts are famous for their weather-adaptability, so they didn't notice a thing. ♥️
Yay for semi-feral landrace heritage sheep! ~600 years later and they're still just ticking along.

As soon as they see me walk out the front door they all start lining up for breakfast!

Everybody Enjoy your new week. We pen our sheep at night in a barn, and a bit of grain gets them to and from the barn without much intervention. The lead ram is Sebastian and his small breeding group. (Not our main flock) #smallfarmlife #GulfCoastNativeSheep #sheep

Our other herd of sheep are #GulfCoastNativeSheep and are wool sheep that are Critically Endangered. They are what sheep in the Gulf States used to be before commercial breeds took over.
