Well sometimes with the early ones there's problems. All I know now is there is one live ram lamb, one dead ram lamb, and maybe(probably not) one still in momma. Shelly May was at the farm till the wee hours(almost a Straw Hat) with the ewe. She had to pull both the lambs. Momma is a first timer, and not wanting to let the ram lamb feed. 
Hopfully now that it's calmed down she letting him feed and we'll be able to turn them back out.
With 250 ewes first timers give us the most trouble. Most of the trouble comes from the ewes that try to lamb early. Hopefully things will smooth out the first of the week.

Sorry about the one lost ram, and the difficulties. Hoping the momma get cleaned out and easier lambing.
Hopefully Shelly May gets some rest today.

She was up at 6am getting ready for work. She'll go by the farm and check on her before she comes in. We should have an update in an hour or so.

Momma past after birth, the ewe is real weak. The lamb is alittle premy, weak in the back legs. Going to take some time to get them back with the flock.
Another set of twins in the front field. First time momma rejected the ewe lamb, and other momma stole it. Gonna take some time to try to get it back on it's momma.

That's a rough start for sure Hope all goes super well now
Wow...can't imagine having that many sheep...you may want to think of getting a small, heated travel trailer out there for lambing time?
