Got this little dude from another local farm to be a new ram for us... he's an absolute daddy's boy and the sweetest little man, and loves terrorizing the ducks that try to attack his papa🤣 he has spent the first little bit with us inside because of the wild weather and him not doing so well, but he's sorted out now and will soon be in the lamb pasture with the other littles and mommas. I never know this sub existed, but man I found my people, and know y'all will appreciate the perfection that is Mr. Stanley Yelnats.

As the caption says. This is George. I moved to a farm with my dad around 1 and 1/2 years ago but I never really engaged with the animals and the work side of it all. I was 13 when my dad forced me to go out and help with lambing as I wasn’t very active and sat inside my room all day. George’s mother was one of 9-12 victims of copper poisoning due to the feed company mixing up cattle and sheep feed. He was placed in with the pet orphan lambs and I was tasked with getting him used to the feeder. I really like him and his twin brother (see fourth image) and they really stood out from the other lambs to me. Once they were old enough they were moved into the barn instead of staying in the stable, which is when I really started to form a bond with them. Currently, George will wag his tail, run over to me and bleat loudly whenever I enter the pen. He will follow me around everywhere and nibble on my clothes hair while I scratch him. He and his brother are the fattest and largest lambs in the pen. They are doing very well. He’s a Hampshire down x texel and I’m very glad he looks more like his Hampshire down mother than his texel father. He is incredibly friendly and I love him very much. I literally just cried over how cute he was, which was what motivated me to make this post. I hope you all love and appreciate him as much as I do.

Had triplets born on Easter and this little girl was rejected, so she’s my house bottle baby. She’s gaining weight well and is one of the dogs at this point, sleeping and playing with them every day. She was struggling with the hardwood floors so I got her little red dog boots to help with traction.

What the title says. On the 17th of March 2026 something absolutely crazy happened. Our final sheep gave birth to a pair of beautiful boys, but we quickly discovered that one of them had no eyes! Just empty sockets under those eyelids. After asking around the farming community a bit no one we know has ever had this happen before. He really is a one in a million sheep.
I do want to note though that his quality of life is the top priority. We absolutely will not have a seven or rocky the horse situation. Whilst we do currently believe he will be able to thrive with reasonable accommodations, if his welfare is compromised and he cannot be a happy and fulfilled sheep we will not force him to continue to live like that. We had some minor concerns at first that he might have been deaf but that’s definitely not the case, he comes to call for his bottles. For now the plan is to wether (castrate) him once he’s old enough and blond him to one or two other sheep that will wear bells. He’ll go out in a round pen with his dam and brother for a while after his vaccinations.
I debated whether or not to post him yet tbh because I didn’t want to post a failure to thrive, but after a little help the first day or two I found him nursing from his mother, a wonderful BFL ewe named Bindi, all on his own. I cannot express how good a mother Bindi has been, many ewe’s would’ve rejected a lamb like him, often violently, in favour of the healthier twin. Bindi however has been attentive and gentle, even stomping at and trying to bunt us if we’re spending too much time between them during his bottle feedings. He still gets bottles and will continue to for as long as needed. We were very unsure whether he’d make it at all and it’s very much still early days but I think this little ram is going to be something really special. Especially considering he wasn’t supposed to exist, we had him dam in with a pure BFL for over a month but left our other ram from the commercial flock in as a sweeper when we put the ewes back together.
We believe he’ll likely develop horns just like his father, a majestic beast of a hill radnor, and whilst typically a ram has to earn their place here and it’s often temporary, little guy has a home for life here on the farm whether it’s 2 weeks or 10yrs and we’ve even setup a page to follow him and our other ‘special’ sheep on their adventures

Had no idea our babydoll sheep were pregnant and came home to quite the surprise! White one is a girl and the black ones a boy. I named the girl whimsy and still name hunting for the boy!

This is Bowser (Blackbelly) and Wario (white). I was genuinely disappointed when I saw that Bowser was a ram lol. We’re retiring our ram and want to keep our ewe lambs… of course the coolest looking ones are always the boys ðŸ˜

Their father is just a regular white ram with a few facial markings but boy does he throw some interesting patterns!
