Sheep Close Ups

When I pulled into Middleton Place last week the sheep were out on the big lawn, a nice place to take their photographs. They had moved into the barnyard by the time I got to the lawn, but were still roaming freely.

Two of the stable workers were doing something in the barn, and the sheep were milling around watching expectantly. Perhaps hoping for an early dinner.

This chocolate colored sheep is one of last year’s Three Lambs, 2023.

I was told on my last visit that three of the ewes are pregnant, due near the end of March. The others are scheduled to be sheared in a couple of weeks as part of an educational Sheep and Wool Day.
