This is what it sounds like on a relatively quiet afternoon with over 100 lambs in the pasture.

The little lamb in the front was looking for its mom for about 30 minutes while we were there (it found her!). This is what happens:

Double Brook Farm1) Lamb feeds.

Double Brook Farm2) Lamb lies down and falls asleep.

Double Brook Farm3) Ewe moves to find some fresh grass and ‘get away from it all’ with a few precious moments of peace and quiet. Honestly, when it’s someone else’s offspring wailing, can you really hear it?

Double Brook Farm4) Lamb wakes up alone.

Double Brook Farm5) Lamb starts crying for its mother and takes off looking for her, bleating all the way.

Double Brook Farm6) Lamb nurses once again.

Double Brook Farm7) And as the little lamb settles down for a nap, the cycle repeats itself. Times 100+!

The puppies’ first day and night in the barn with the sheep. They will be paired with an older dog as soon as the cold weather breaks. For now they are cozy with the newborn lambs and the heat lamp. It’s a little bittersweet!
