Laughing Dove Farm

We love to watch the lamb games every day here at Laughing Dove Farm. Who needs t.v. when this is right outside our door ?

My lambs enjoy their lamb games every day , leaping and frolicking with the joy of life !

Little puppy ( Jethro) plays game of chase with yellow Lab (Clara). His size helps him elude her as he tucks and ducks under a truck to get away.

This is the day I released my 4 horn Jacob ram Jonas for breeding season. For a whole week prior to releasing him with his harem the girls (sheep) had been hanging around his pen and baaing desperately to be with him. He in turn was ramming his gates and did quite a bit of damage to them. The moment I released him he strutted out to his favorite ewe, Tasha. If I could put music to this I would call it my sheep tango.

My Icelandic ewe just delivered her 2nd lamb and cleans him off. The lambs are on their feet immediately after birth and seeking their mother's milk. Freya is a wonderful mother. I have kept sheep for over 30 years and never cease to marvel as my sheep have their lambs and tend them. I am so thankful for my flock. (See part 1 to view the lamb being born.)

Our grandson and our bantam rooster Alan are good friends. Here they are each taking bites from the same piece of bread.
