Can you tell it has been cold, wet and nasty here?
They do have straw and housing...They just prefer laying in the mud!

Sorry about your losses and to you and your sister. I know that's hard to go through. Congrats on all the healthy lambs though! They are cute!

Daisy had twins. One black( with white cap) and one white ram lambs.
16 is working on some babies.

Oops I am a liar! She had triplets!

!6 has one so far. Pretty big looking little guy so she might be done.

My dad is taking a "lamb" day to stay home watch every one

16 had twins we are 99% certain she is done.

Thanks guys!

It's kind of been go go go these past weeks. I know Lambing probably would have gone smoother if their was some one who was home during the day or had the time to do all nighters to pull lambs through.

Both of my parents work and they don't have super flexible schedules ( teacher & lawyer) so we are stuck doing what we can when we can.

Speaking of that 16 has decided twins are over rated and she just wants one. We will try to get him back on but who knows.

We have several options after that.

• We bring him to school and I raise him at my grandma's
• Dad does it
• We pay our 4-H leaders little girls to do it
• or we sell him as a bottle baby.

That last one isn't to bad since I've seen some listed for $50 recently

2 MORE!...but they look a little premature.
The ewe had apparently been fighting a little earlier in the day and we think that triggered it.

One of the premature ones didn't make it but the other one is very with it.

I got home about an hour ago. Somebody was dead in the middle of the pen...Until I picked him up....He is recooperating in front of the fire. I think it's my dads bottle baby. Looks like he wondered out of the shed and couldn't find his way back....but I think he's out of the woods.

New ram lamb today. Him and his very wild momma are locked in our rooster room for now.
Oh and rain lots and lots of rain....more rain than a place that gets 8 in/yr has any buisness getting
