Farmers 1 : Lambs 0

Busted! The lambs won't be up to their old tricks any more. We finally caved and bought them a fancy new sheep sized feeder to match the one we bought for the ewes last year.

Aha! Just try to squeeze through the bars on this one!
:: What is this thing? Not too sure at first.

Big improvement: old "modified" cow feeder (back) vs new sheep-sized feeder (front).
:: Much happier about the change now that there is food in there!

Llamas (and ewes) curious to see what's happening in the lambs' paddock "next door"

So content with the new feeder!
Note to self: Next time buy new feeder in the Fall so you can use it all winter long instead of buying one when there are signs that Spring is just around the corner! Pulling hay to the outside of the cow feeder so they can reach (and then having half of them climb in anyway) at 6AM in a snow storm is not a fun idea.
