I never know what colors I’m gonna get. That just makes it more fun. Beautiful lambs, love the colors and markings! Congratulations on healthy babies!

Thanks! One ewe for sure left to lamb and one possible.

Great to get them all close together like that... good way to look at some growth rates... although you know from previous experience that the triplets will be smaller and slower to grow due to having to share the milk... you might get lucky and have one go to stealing... any chance you can graft one of the triplets on the ewe with the single????

I didn't have much time to think about that - though the thought did cross my mind. With guests (puppy people) coming for three days I x-nayed that idea as the ewe with the single was one that I had to tie up last go around to let her lamb nurse. She was better this time, but still made the lamb work. I knew I'd be too distracted to give that the attention it needed.
I know who goes to who, some in jugs and will get to all the undone recording tomorrow.

Congrats on a successful lambing season. Great timing too for the puppies - or your keeper puppy anyway. Get used to lambs and proper respect to mamas.

Thanks! It's all a learning experience for me. Loving the journey - LOL and seeing how I evolve in the whole process. LOL dog training others to less and less of that and more and more of lambing.
