āAliceā is a nine-year-old Shetland ewe who had triplets (for the fourth time!) this year. One of her ewe lambs, āDutchessā climbs on Aliceās back for attention.
It has rained every day for the past week and Aliceās babies are getting restless ...
If you look closely, youāll also see that Alice is quite water-logged!

Hi Nancy.. You mentioned ALice is a nine year old ewe..How long do sheep generally live and how long can they safely reproduce? We have only had goats here at Homeland Farm, and they were still quite young when we bred them. Thanks for the nice pictures of that poor PATIENT ewe! Carmen from Homeland Farm
Great photos Nancy! Your lambs are so adorable. Thanks for sharing. Ilene
Hi Nancy, It is wonderful to see you here at Grit! Alice is beautiful with those blue eyes. The babies are all cutie pies. Have a great day. Pam Life on a Southern Farm
Nancy, what great pictures! The babies are adorable!
Nancy, I really donāt know much about sheep. It looks like the lambs are sure having a good time, but thatās with any young animals. Just like children they think the world is one big play ground. Alice doesnāt seem to share the lambsā enthusiasm. Of course being nine years old this is not a new thing for her. How many sheep do you have? You have such a nice pasture for them. Welcome to Grit. Iām looking forward to reading about more animal adventures.
