BrownSheeps 2013 Lambing thread...6 new babies

[BrownSheep]

Accourding to when we put in the rams we can expect lambs any time from Sunday on!

As of now I would say only one ewe is away where near close an that is Big Bertha! Bertha has had one set of triplets and one set of twins, all ewes.
Last year, two of her triplet daughters also had triplets. They weren't the best mothers but after a bit they got the hang of it. Triplets on any yearling ewe would be enough to confuse them I would guess. The other triplet daughter had a single ewe lamb but was an extremely attentive mother
Bertha was in with the main ram for this year who is Eli our Ramboulliet.
She's not as well conditioned this year so I'll be happy with a single...it can even be a ram .

I expect she'll lamb right after I return to college. Luckily, I have the ability to go back on weekends and family who will be texting me photos.

Haha thanks guys!

Today I was able to check a couple udders of our friendlier ewes. Of them only one has fairly large udder. Black Sheep is 2 year old and still carries her udder tightl to her body. I noticed a bit of development but was shocked as to how large it actually was when I flipped her. She had a ram lamb that we retained last year. Unfortunately, he passed this November. We may still get lambs from him as he was allowed to run with the main group.

Dos, a triplet ewe, is also looking verrrry large. She isn't friendly so I wasn't able to ge my hands on her and she's pretty fluffy down there. I expect she'll go a bit after Bertha and BlackSheep. She had a single last year that died shortly after lambing....thus another reason we are not doing pasture lambing this year. She's out of Mable my pure bred Suffolk that passed this last summer. Mable had triplets consistently so here's hoping she passed it on.

There's not very many days left till I have to return to school. Think adding cayan pepper to the hay and putting them on the trampoline would speed things along?
