BOth of my ewes have lambed so now it really is YOUR turn. I hope its soon!

Although I'm new to this too, the telltale sign for my girls was the color of their vulva changed. It became a rosy pink color instead of the lighter pink it had been. The other signs were there but when I noticed the color change it ws within the next 24hrs.
Good luck!

I think they are just enjoying tormenting me! Ewe #1 vulva has changed a little darker almost purplely. Ewe #2 has no change udder is a bit more enlarged than before who knows. When I let my guard down they will be here maybe I will stay away from the barn this afternoon. Instead of bothering them lol. They do enjoy their scratches and treats though!

FINALLY 1 baby ram lamb today! Mom isn't liking him too much but is finally letting him nurse after a bit. I think she is done after the one but is still a bit chunky.

He is so stinking cute!

AWWWWW! how cute! Congrats!


The first day or two of nursing is kind of hard on the moms. The suckling causes uterine contractions and sometimes the udder is really full and its hard to get the milk to let down.

Now just waiting on Ginger!
