Babes In Soayland
When lambs learn early on that the big black boots belonging to The Giant of Saltmarsh Ranch are an unthreatening sight and smell, it goes a long ways towards their being relaxed and comfortable having Steve around them throughout their lives. And so we try to spend long stretches in the Nursery just sitting among the littlest lambs right from the start. Tough duty.
One of our first ewe lambs tries to figure out what that blue stuff is — smells authentically sheepy, but it just doesn't look and feel like mama's bag.
Our lambs do not play favorites; they like to explore Priscilla-the-Photographer's boots as well.
