Zelda is the most interesting sheep I have encountered, she is smart, strong, protective and vigilant. I wish her good luck with her impending lambing. I can see her stomach lowering, changing shape every day, her udders are not yet extended, but I think she is just a few days away.

I remember when Zelda first came to Bedlam Farm, she jumped a big fence to be with the old sheep that were summering with us, we could not separate her from them. At the new farm, she led two spectacular breakouts through the new fences and up the highway in heavy traffic. She has knocked me down a half dozen times, Red twice that many, but motherhood seems to agree with, when the vet came to check her last week, she only knocked me down once, she and Red have come to an understanding.

She will be a great mother I think, her instincts are so powerful. I am thinking of her, wishing her luck. I’m thinking twins.
