Fall Lambing has begun!
I checked last night and all was well. No one looking like they were about to pop other than big beach whale imitations and bags. WELLLLLLL - got to the barn and heard an untypical low maaaaaaaaaa. Peeked in and ....
Stripe had her lambs. Triplets, though she didn't get the sac off of one of the noses
- though I tried he was long gone. Seal brown ram lamb. The other two were fine. My best guess is they came close together and she had another lamb while cleaning the one that didn't make it. So it's twins (I guess that's what you'd call them since it's only two to take care of??).
And - of course they are cute. One ewe lamb and one ram lamb. The ram lamb has some spots with a ring around each ear, and the ewe lamb is seal brown (for now) with two flashy white socks on her hind legs.
Four or five ewes to go!
(bad camera angle for sure - her head is not that big
)
