Daddy In Waiting....

 

Wanted to share a photo of Antonio. He is dad to the kids that are about to be born this spring. As of yesterday, he has become "Daddy In Waiting". The girls most likely to birth the soonest are on the other side of the barn wall from him.


 

 

He is such a good guy. Each year at kidding time he takes up his post beside the barn and spends most of his time there until he hears that familiar “na” of a newborn. Then he gets up, goes in the barn and checks on mother and child (children). Then he's back to his post. This time he has a friend..that's "Boggie" our 18 or 19 year old ewe.

 The next time you see Antonio he will have on less clothes..it's shearing time for him..today!

(sorry the photo is so big..I'm still learning)

That is the sweetest photo, it it sounds Antonio's the sweetest daddy. I wish I could say as much of my turkey tom, Big Guy...
