From the first, Izzy and Zelda seemed to bond. The imperious Zelda, the undisputed Queen of the flock, came right up to Izzy, sniffed her, stood by her, the two have been together all day, even in the Pole Barn.  All day, whenever Izzy was confused, she would turn to Zelda, who seemed to comfort her.

We think we have a good chance to have Izzy shorn on Thursday, she will be much more comfortable. And Maria is considering bringing another Romney, a white ewe, into the flock. We’ll know about that tomorrow. It’s good to have some new animals here, to get to know.
