Before ......

A nice peaceful scene minutes before we moved the flock up to the paddock to separate the ewes and lambs for weaning ...........
By dark it was time to put the fans in the house on "exhaust" to get some sleep!  Deep "baas" from the ewes in the barn, more shrill "baas" from the lambs outside.  We did leave the 3 youngest lambs out with their dams, so that there were some adults in the pack of lambs to provide organization and guidance.  It's very hard to move lambs anywhere as a group because they just haven't figured out how to follow the shepherd with a grain bucket.   They mill around, they flee in a panic, and/or they jump sky high when cornered.   The yearlings are also in the lamb flock, but they're only slightly more tame (!) at this point.

Mary Todd Daylily - very thick growth & sturdy stems & flowers! 
Love my daylilies .........
