Jim really likes a nice leg of lamb. I'm not all that fond of it, personally, but I think that has a lot to do with how it's cooked, so I'm open to liking ours. I love the goat, which really surprised me. <br /><br />Christy, that's one advantage of the electric fences—keeping them in a smaller paddock helps direct their grazing. We're thinking of setting up a strip grazing rotation this year with the sheep following Bella. Of course each year we have plans for the rotational grazing, and each year they tend to go out the window during drought season. <br /><br />Jenny, exactly! What a great description. They're so funny. We'll have to try the straw bale thing.Daniellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07687340159825245112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-20803224738832271092009-04-12T18:14:00.000-05:002009-04-12T18:14:00.000-05:00Very cute!Very cute!Alex Polikowskyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05394640392619679464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-28244787933863834752009-04-12T11:59:00.000-05:002009-04-12T11:59:00.000-05:00Popcorn lambs!

It's great when you've got, like, 10 of them out there all bouncing around.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07940297773367322768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-46339937174918843522009-04-12T11:10:00.000-05:002009-04-12T11:10:00.000-05:00We had to break out the lawnmower.

They did do a good job trimming around the fences though!Christyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14920326845870515381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24093811.post-9140444966891256832009-04-12T09:24:00.000-05:002009-04-12T09:24:00.000-05:00Much better than lawnmowers.
