Of the two lambs that went to Annie's house, only one made it. Caleb named them Logan and Hinkley, but when we realized they were girls, the names were changed to Kate and Ashley. 
Cody has been docking lambs every spring with his best friend Nick, since they were both in high school. Nick's dad owns 10,000 sheep. Docking means cutting off the tails of any sheep with black on it, branding them, giving shots and castrating the males. Rubber bands are placed on the tails of the more desirable lambs....the ones who are all white.
My mom has been taking a few of the bummer lambs home for three years now and the grandkids help her bottle feed them until they are pasture ready. She also has bunnies and for some odd reason, Jaken can't separate the sheep from the bunnies. He always says, "i feEd BOtTle tO ThE bUNniE."
I think I could be a ranch wife...NOT!

I was just picturing you as a Ranch Wife. Overalls & braids, making homemade bread for the ranch hands, hanging your laundry out on the line to dry, rustling the animals for exercise. Sara, what if you missed your true calling in life?
