A new addition to Ty & Debs ranch

This is the newest project at Ty and Debs. It seems they needed a new lawn mower and decided 25 of these things would work quite well. These are 25 bred ewes. There should be many more by the time they all give birth. They are due in a little over a weeks time. Will be interesting to see just how many have duplicates and hopefully all survive including the birthing supervisors.
As you can see, some wanted their pictures taken. I was happy to take their picture and do a blog on them. They are happily munching their way around the yard with an electric fence keeping them where they are supposed to be. I have been told a couple of those sheep have found their way out of the fence but seem to go back in where they belong when chased in that direction. Here are two of the sheep herders. So far Kimberly and Justin seem to enjoy their new experience.

Mom, it's nice that you post what Ty's are up to. Ty's blog is a bit....um.....lacking would be a good word.

I bet Ty's kids will enjoy the new venture. The sheep seem to be les intimidating than cattle. We'll have to watch Ty's blog for updates....ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.

Is one of those winking at Ty?

I noticed the winking also! Maybe it's just an errant stitch...

KJ...too funny. I have tears from laughing. Ty should have been an OB-GYN.

Maybe it is a twitch - kind of like Sean's tatoo - the beav?!
