2022 Waiting on Lambs Journal

Kakuna × Oreo
Twin rams.
She's acting a bit odd, might reject one or both.

 

[secuono]

I knew it, she hates them. Trampling & ramming them.
She was hardly talking to them, would react if they talked, but not much.
In the house for now. Will try to get her to take them tomorrow.

Brought Kakuna's lambs back out. She seems to accept the small one, first born, but is running away from the 2nd, occasionally licking and talking to him. Fed them before putting them out, should have energy for awhile to argue with her. Hoping she gets over herself.

 

[Mini Horses]

I'm with you on this kind of watch. A FF doe delivered twins late day yesterday and walked!! Slightly preemie. Thankful for frozen milk & colostrum.

 

[secuono]

Had her tied short most of the day. Lengthened it for the night.
She still doesn't like that 2nd lamb. She'll stay tied until someone comes to get him or she accepts him.



Everyone got their tails banded today & coats removed. Tomorrow, I'll do tags.

No new lambs.

Let the Moos out & yearlings w/3 maybe due soon ewes out to a paddock. Brought Moos back in for the night, since they don't handle the cold well & need the barn.

Wide loads, Ewenique & Patchie.

Kakuna's rejected lamb went home to the same lady that got last year's bottle baby. I hear she's 80# now, no longer a teensie weensie baby!

Kakuna's other baby is a pig, he even nurses when she sleeps!



Just a cute pic of a confused Moo.


Everyone is tagged and ready for the community section of the barn in another day or so.

Icarus × Magnemite
Having to warm them up. Hope they snap out of it soon.
Ram and ewe, spotted.

 

[secuono]

So. Many. Rams!


Icarus' lambs are doing well.

Then Articuno decided to lamb. Ram by Apostle.

And last, Ewenique had ram/ewe twins. By Billy.



Got the first 3 moms together-

That's alot of lambs all at once! Alot of black ones too! Sorry there are so many rams unless they sell better...? So glad that the weather has improved here in Va... even with the forecast rain coming, it is sure better than the snow and 13 degree temps and cold wind.
