Other 3 moms and lambs moved to the other yard with the rest of the moms and lambs.
3 of the 5 jugged moms moved into open barn area.
All got tagged and banded.
All ram lambs have been listed. Waiting a few weeks to decide on ewes when I decide on adult ewes.


Oldest, Sugar, slowly working up on amount of grain to fatten back up.


And one idiot ewe making pointless choices...

If you were curious about lgd knowing the difference between usa wild rabbit and european domestic rabbit, 100% yes.
Both of mine found a nest and tried to go after them. But wouldn't dare go after my buns.
Nest was against/under eave of barn, 10ft from my rabbits.

Spotted some grainy movement at 5:20.
Bamboozled was fixing to lamb! Head and one leg showing, too big to shove back in, so had to get rope and pull! 6:30 and a huge ram was out!
Bamboozled × Ross
She's the "English Blue" Clefairy had. Lamb is jet black.

That's a big lamb compared to many of your other ones... Glad you were able to pull it and that it is up and doing...

Forget the other lambs, he's half grown compared to mom!
Will weigh him tomorrow morning.

To top it off, did you know sheep can get cast whilst lambing?? Wtf?!? Was filming the birth and suddenly she rolled over and couldn't roll back over. Omg!

Yes, had a ewe lamb at night on a hillside. In morning found her still alive but lamb partially out was dead. Pulled it and fund another newborn hiding. Apparently she cast herself with second lamb. Got her up the hill and into barn but she was very sore and gimpy for several days.

Wow! He’s huge. Good catch on the cam.

 

[Mini Horses]

Half grown is right!

He's 9.99#. Mom is pretty small, so that's a big lamb, but big for regular ewes, too.
And I was wrong, he also has agouti markings on the face! Too bad he's a ram, won't keep him.


More bad news. One of Sugar's rams is sickly. Will euth tonight if no improvement. I hate this year. And the wind won't stop blowing! Ffs.
