Lamb Workout
Our market lambs are growing well, maybe a little too well. Some are starting to look a little overweight and we still have over two weeks before our first show. Ideally a market lamb has a little bit of fat covering but muscle is one of the most important things that judges look for. To give our lambs more muscle we expanded their pen so that they have more room to run and walk around to lose some their excess fat and put on some much needed muscle. They now also have a little bit of grass to chew on which is like candy for lambs who have never tasted it before. Our lambs were very excited about their new pen and I got some pretty funny pictures of them playing.

Awesome pics! I love the pure excitement animals have for green grass - their first bite after a long winter, running and playing - it simply makes me smile.
