2023, Waiting on Lambs!

[secuono]

Oh, the shot I gave that one lamb seemed to of helped. He was out bouncing around yesterday & this morning.


One spotted ram sold. Two tentatively pending.


Short stampede.

And the jugged ones. Will finish banding them & then start tagging them all today. If the weather stops the darn rain, I'll let some out.

Let more moms outside.

Woke up at 7, Patchie was a little different. Fed everyone else, then moved her into the barn.
Went out at noon to watch, decided to go in around 12:30 because of exceedingly weak efforts to push.
First was small and in the correct position, pulled. Ram.
2nd was head back. Was worried I'd need to get her to the vet, but was able to get the head to stay forward after pushing a left back, pulled. Ram.
Then I left to refill hay. No contractions visible, but baby kept moving into position. Once at the exit, went ahead and gave a light pull. Ewe! Spotted! Keeping her!
Gave them a bottle of colostrum & left them to figure out the rest on their own.

The eweling has been able to keep up with nursing. The bigger ramling is occasionally able to, but the smaller one cannot. Little guy is on the bottle, offered to the others as well.




Katsura & lamb went out, so did Latte & lambs.



Saola had twins, m/f, sire is Ross.

Yamcha has been off in a corner all day. Finally, around 5pm, she decided it was time. Sire Oreo. Single ram.
Elbows locked, had to adjust.
Naturally, the Moos had to say hello.

Waiting on Juliana to have her 2nd lamb. She lost them last year. One girl so far.

2nd was a breech ram, had to pull. Jugged now.





Next two will be banded & tagged today, then probably let out the next day.

Another mom went out.



Patchie eweling in a high spot.



And already have one stuck in a fence...




Ewenique looks like she might be next.

Picked up 13 pallets.
