Sheep abundant!

As i said earlier, we breed sheep. They are a specific breed known as Soay, from the island of soay. We own a flock of seven ewes and one ram. we had a second ram, Luxor, but he was killed. Our current ram, Triton, is White and Black. So with rams, it is very likely that we will have some of our own lambs. Before we left for spring break, we had two lambs. Valentina and the twins. i will try to upload pictures of all the animals sometime. When we came back, on April fool's one of our ewes refused to come out of her house. the next morning, we had a wobbly little ram lamb. the first one we ever had. Vally, my sister wants to name him Panda. What the heck, she is only going to be here for a few more months. Give her as many chances and as much joy as we can. Then yesterday, one of our gimmers, a first year, not even a year old yet, had her lamb. another ewe. so now we have 4 ewe lambs and one ram lamb with more coming. and i'm the one who gets to clean the barns! yeay...

here is the video i tried to download but for some reason, it wouldn't.
