We Are Shepherds!

We don't have functional closets.  We don't have a working dishwasher.  But we just couldn't help ourselves from adopting the first member of the Riddle Ranch.  Meet Shamrock, our Jacob lamb, who will be our breeder when he's old enough.

I am reading day and night about how to care for this little guy, but I must admit, as I did when I first kept chickens, that I feel completely over my head.  But also so in love with this little fluff ball.  Have any of you kept sheep?  I would would be so grateful to hear your stories and pearls of wisdom.  

We will add two ewe lambs once they have been born and are ready to leave their mamas.  Oh my.  What have we done?  We have gone for our dreams.  I am shaky. And in love.  And so many things.  Thus transforms a Orange County girl into a frightened wannabe farm mom.  Gulp.  Eeeeee!  Happiness.

I'm sharing this at Gratituesday, Simple Lives Thursday & Barn Hop.
