Brown Sheep 2014 Lambing-New Pictures

[BrownSheep]

Thanks!
We had another baby today. My dad *thinks* she is a ewe lamb. He was moving her in to the lambs pen quick so her momma could finish cleaning her off and just glanced. http://www.backyardherds.com/attachments/bllamb-jpg.1169/?temp_hash=c97367b9cc245711e064b998a66e2f10

Well I am naughty and didn't get any pictures. :

I went home this weekend with my Grammy and my sister. The ram lamb was born sometime shortly before we got there on Friday and I was the one who found him. He's a little stud muffin, or was since we castrated him today.

I went out about one today to find the new twins. Their momma hadn't shown any signs of lambing when we fed about 2 hours earlier. It must have been a real wam, bam, thank you ma'am sort of deal since they hadn't been there 10 minutes earlier when I peaked out the window.

They are tiny! which was to be expected since we were only expecting a single. The other new born is about twice their size. Unfortunately their mommy isn't super interested in them. She cleaned them off and will *occasionally* call to them. She doesn't butt them off when they try to nurse she just doesn't ever stand still. I held her to make certain they got some colostrum before I left.
They are active and walking around yelling. If they are still only being so,so taken care of tomorrow morninng my sister ( who has this week off) will give them a bottle.
The count thus far
Betsy- 1 Ram 1 Ewe 1 stillborn ram
Olive- 1 Ram
Black Sheep- 1Ewe ( huge and VERY active)
Ellie- 2 rams
Billy- 1Ram ( she is an insanely good mom, she will literally try to herd you if you carry her baby)
Molly- 2 Ewes

Every one except our newest additions got tagged (ewes only), docked, and castrated today as well.
