Sunset sky. Swirly pink clouds over grazing sheep. #SkySheep
Bruno, who we don’t talk about :), aiming for a snack on a misty morning. #SkySheep
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.

Sheep huddled around hay bags in a warm dry pen with fresh straw

Sheep are very comfortable in their barn after the storm yesterday. I’m less comfortable with the events of this weekend. Too many feelings to put in a single BlueSky post. Hope everyone is staying safe! #Sheepsky #SmallFarmLife #SkySheep
Our sheep are such angels they have a glow to them.

Baaad Boy showing his mane. The phone picked this out as a highlight, are pastures are brown and sad right not. Very little rain and 3 recent freezes have the sheep eating a lot of hay.

Taking a break in the pasture. Just sit down and see who comes to visit. There are some that are very friendly and some just continue their day.

Sheep in the mist, and me helping the ladies reach some oak leaves.

The movie from every shepherds favorite book, Three Bags Full. Due out mid next year. #SkySheep
Sheep surrounding two hay feeders
Somebody couldn't wait for me to finish filling the feeder before tucking in. There is something incredibly restful about standing in the drizzle listening to the sound of a few dozen contented sheep quietly chomping accompanied by the repeat stanzas of a melodious song thrush 🎶 #SkySheep
Andie showing her 3 may lambs (soon to be yearings) how to break into a pumpkin. They are a bit large diameter, but Andie will manage.

A diminuitive moorit Shetland wether with a big character, Bran says he needs extra special treats on cold days. ❄️ #SkySheep
A GulfCoast Native lamb, pixel, samples the grass in front of a classic barn. The barn is covered in dappled light from the surise and has classes rolling doors with white framing.
Tracy’s shot in an early morning. #GulfCoastNative lamb pixel is sampling grass in front of the barn after the rest of the herd has gone out. #SkySheep #SmallFarmLife
A small lamb with a white body and black head is staring head on with wide-eyes. She looks curious and sweet.
BOOP! Spunky has gifted you with a nose boop from a lamb. Do not squander this. Use it to improve your day.

So having some fun with the phone. Slow motion sheep sprint. Delilah takes the win as usual, she aggressively stakes out her starting position to be first off the line and then uses her 360 spinning propeller tail for extra speed. #SmallFarmLife #SkySheep
Had a great time helping out with the fleece judging at the Gwinnett County Fair yesterday. There were some real beauties!!

Apparently, that local hay slaps. 😏

A young great pyrenees dog is laying in long grass. He looks quite content with himself. In the background is a small flock of dorper sheep, grazing.
Strider is a very proud LGD-in-training.

In a pasture of short grass , 4 Barbados blackbelly lambs. 3 are grazing with heads close together and 1 slightly behind with head up looking at camera.
Happy Friday, from our gang to you!

Ewe and her lamb lying in a field. The lamb is looking suspiciously at the camera while its mother is looking away.

Even though Dahlia’s all grown up now, her mom Arapaho still tries to follow her everywhere and make sure she’s alright! #SheepSky #SkySheep #SmallFarmLife
Shepherd in field with lambs and ewes. Bucket of food held at shoulder height, and ewes in total attention to the shepherd.
"Bucket Training" day, so that they will follow you if you have a bucket of feed. I'm trying to teach the lambs but the mom ewes are not helping, the moms are hogging all the feed. Bucket held high: If moms can get their head in the bucket, you won't get them out.

Ethel, a medium/dark grey sheep standing in a pen with hay and fresh straw. This was her first night here so she looks a little wary of everything!
Ethel standing in the larger sheep pen with the rest of the flock. She settled in quickly and gets along great with the other sheep
Ethel just after being sheared, displaying her gorgeous silvery grey coloring
Her wool freshly carded into a small batt — look for these in the shop soon as well!
This summer I added a new ewe to my flock — meet Ethel! She is a gorgeous natural colored CotswoldxCoopworth ewe. I have added her fleece to my Etsy shop, see the comments for a link to the listing. She has settled into the flock wonderfully! #Sheepsky #Skysheep #spinnersflock #SmallFarmLife #sheep
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
