First Outing

I let the sheep out for the first time today since winter.  I allowed Ivy to chase them around the barn to exercise what she had already learned as well as exercise her physically.  It couldn't hurt the ewes either as they had been cooped up for several months.

Or at least I thought so.

While I was attempting to take photos of Dark Carmella's udder to post on this blog I noticed a white mucous hanging from her vulva.

It's hard to see it in the above photo.  Here's another attempt.

Not sure if it from the stress of running around or the beginning of her aborting the lamb as she doesn't look far enough along to actually give birth.  I will be keeping a watchful eye on her.

Meanwhile, I wasn't very successful in capturing her developing udder but this was the best shot I got today.

But I did get some nice photos of the ewes enjoying their time outside.
