Yep, she's definitely close! :D Her vulva looks a lot floppier than in the first set of pictures. My ewes always lamb within a day of their vulva turning rosy pink.

Hi Aggie
Good luck with Darla and those Romney crosses look good. Thats the trouble with BYH when others start showing pics of their new arrivals it almost makes me jealous, but at long last we have started lambing here so I will be posting pics to make you jealous :lol:

Well, Darla lambed yesterday evening. I had to pull both lambs. The first one was big and coming out backwards, and the second one was just big. Two ram lambs! Geesh. It's a boy year here. Boykin, I may have cussed you a tad earlier after the first big ram lamb was born. :p They're both doing well and she's a great mom, so no worries there. The lighter faced one was born first.

And what's weird, is Darla went exactly on her due date. My goat June went almost exactly on hers...2 hours late. That almost never happens.

The boys are so leggy, I can't wait to see how they grow. Darla had no grain until the last couple weeks, and even then it was only a minute amount.

Yesterday I put Darla and her boys out in the pasture. One of the boys tried walking up to the yearling ewes, and they FREAKED! :lol: They ran away, and the lamb ran after them. It was so funny and I SO wish I'd had gotten a video of it. It was funny to see 2 yearling ewes being chased by a little lamb. :lol:
