Glenn returned from checking the flerd this morning, as he does every morning.
But, today, he wanted me to go back out with him and see something. I put on my winter coat, knitted hat/scarf combo and grabbed a pair of gloves. I was overdressed.
This fall morning was warm and sunny. Not a breeze stirred. Beauty at its best!
As we walked toward the pasture where the flerd currently grazed, I was glad to up and out enjoying one of the last fabulous days of this season. The weather was sure to turn and stay cold soon. (But, I have been wrong in the past.) The dogs followed making the trek team complete.
Then, Glenn pointed and I looked. Two brand new lambs. What? Our lambing begins in April and ends in June. What a surprise!

These guys were the typical babies...wanting to sleep and eat and sleep again.

We have just finished our fall calving with our newest (most recent purchase) heifers, so these guys will fit right in.
What I would like to know is when did we change from one calving/lambing season in the spring to two - spring and fall? Where have I been?
