Hey!  What are you eating?!

Here’s how I get the lambs to come a bit closer to me – they can’t resist checking out my hat!

Millie has headed off for a rest – her lambs followed, of course, but there was another who followed – Millie’s granddaughter, Chesta (the black ewe).  She was playing with her Auntie Guadalupe (moorit – brown lamb) and forgot about her mom, who is a few hundred yards away!

Chesta picks a fight with Guadalupe.  NOT a nice way to treat your Auntie, Chesta!

They call a truce.  Guadalupe strikes a pose for me.  Both of these lambs are going to have gorgeous fleece this fall!

Here’s Millie’s other lamb – Guadalupe’s sister, yet to be  named.   She played it smart and stayed out of the fight!

Millie took her lambs up to the barn to loaf – but Chesta followed, still forgetting her mom for a little while longer…see what I mean about the gorgeous fleece?!

It wasn’t long after this that Chesta realized Mom wasn’t there and panicked!  Wish I had a video of her flying down the hill and across the pasture to her!

 

 

And here’s dear Millie – 10 years old and just made to be a mom – she’s loving life!  Her lamb was nuzzling her ear and Millie wasn’t complaining!
