Picture below is Connie, one Mom, with her two female lambs.
Here is Polly with her two male lambs:
Here is Polly next to one of her lambs - he is almost as big as she is!
This is their friend the turtle, that lives next door.
Gabe and I went down to get them, not knowing how to bring them back. Between a few professor's advice and the Green Mountain College junk wood pile and tools, we managed to scrape together a few panels to keep the sheep in the truck on the ride back. It turned out to be quite strong, and combined with a rubber mat underneath (for maximum hoof grip), it made a pretty good little travel "crate" for the three lambs. There was even still room for our bikes in the back!
The lambs were quite bewildered when we put them in the truck. They were quite calm the whole time and welcomed the pastured when they met the llamas at 8 AM. Here are the sheep in the truck:
After much debate and cruising the pasture with the sheep, the llamas, Hana, and I, we decided on a lovely spot on top of the hill that was flat enough to put the sheep fencing. Until we put up the sheep fence they hung out in the llama fence for a few hours enjoying the company and free-choice grass.
The sheep get a little cracked corn in the morning, enabling Hana or I to stand near them while they eat, getting them used to us. The lamb below is the female whom I have dubbed Clover. The next down is Valentine (to remind me of the experiences I had in Italy). The largest male is named Lego (short of Leg 'O Lamb). 
Hana and I have been experimenting with sustainable and grass-fed fiber production systems with our llamas and angoras for the past five years. In the summer of 2007, we also began to experiment with food production with rabbits, chickens, and ducks. This past year at college I took animal husbandry courses, specializing on raising grass-fed livestock. So this year we have expanded. These sheep will be slaughtered sometime this autumn, along with several chickens, and with success, several rabbits as well. If you have any questions about how we slaughter or our food production, feel free to email us at whitemountainllamas@hotmail.com.Thanks for your support!
