When I have expecting ewes, I check them first thing when I get up. Lily is the last to Lamb. I had already done morning chores and was looking out the bathroom window and noticed she was restless. She dug nests, laid down, then was up again.

This is the first time we got to watch a birth.

After repeated down-push-up she had the Lamb half hanging out, and gave a final push.

Lily licked and baa’d softly to her Lamb. He was on his feet and nursing within 8 minutes.

That is always an awesome thing to see. We have been lucky that many of our girls have decided to deliver while I'm out there but I never have a camera at the time.
