One of my triplet sisters is named Nova. Nova, Nora and Tiny. Tiny was too little to suck, bottle baby, now can’t tell her from her sisters. Nora just had the twins, her sisters aren’t too far behind her.

The rest need to hurry up and have them in the next few days.....BEFORE the real cold and bad weather... a couple days old and on their feet, and they will do fine with windbreaks and shelter...and plenty of momma's milk...but they need to have a couple days to get good at eating and being active....

Fancy’s lambs are third generation, 87.5% and eligible for registration at one year old. So is the ewe lamb that Ginger had. I have 2 more 75% ewes to lamb, Pancake and Bon Bon.
I have five 75% young ewes I kept from the early spring lambing, I’ll put them with Rocky in February.
I have 6 more registered ewes to lamb, one already had twins and I’m keeping her ewe lamb. Can’t wait to see what I get from the other six!
It looks like all of a sudden, but really after years of breeding, I’ll have a lot of lambs eligible for full registration. Then I will have to go through the flock and choose percentage ewes to sell because I’m keeping their 87.5% lambs. That’s gonna be a hard cut to make.
Right now I have 26 breeding ewes, plus the 7 I kept from spring. Can’t keep them all! I’ll have to let some go.

Ah - but we all know it takes years to get to this point! Years of work, hard work, good times, harder times, tough decisions. We all want to be able to start at this point - but the knowledge and learning to get here is something that can not be skipped over, learned in a book, or a Googled foundation. I've only been here a few years watching ya'll and learning to get ideas. Watching everyone progress forward is a blessing and a gift.
Time for you to enjoy this, as for going to be a hard cut to make, I don't think so. I think you'll know who and when to cut. Yeah there'll be a few that hang on heartstrings - but that's just the way life out here is.
