Rural Gardening: How is Miss Marshmallow?, 1 by DrDoolotz

Thanks for asking! Yes, she is definitely a big girl now - roughly 40 lbs and growing like a weed. She is not in the house now - this is her 3rd week outside with the rest of the flock. She is still extremely attached to me and will follow me around the farm as I do chores, etc. She likes to go gardening with me and will bleat pitifully if I am within sight of the sheep pasture. However, if she can't see me, she just hangs out with the other sheep. I think she will always be very people-oriented. It will be easier for shearing and hoof trimming and such. She is a sweet girl and always wants a fuss even if it's just through the cattle panel fencing. I try to fuss her every day. :-)

Here she is with her brother to her right (eating from the grain bucket). You can see how much bigger she is from having been pampered indoors and getting all the milk, rather than having to share it.
