The total for the day 2/24/13 was 16 we lost the two still born ones, had a momma trying all day to lamb, she couldn't do it on her own, pulled a big baby out, thought she was going to just have one because it was so big, baby is alive, but later I went back to check on her and she had another hanging out ( breach) back wards , had to help pull it out also, the baby didn't make it, so we lost a total of three today, so 13 alive, I got pictures of the first eight from earlier today, but the last 5 I will have to get pictures tomorrow and post.

FYI, when I post pictures if there is one baby in picture it is a single, if two or more in picture they are twins/trips, I will try to make notes if it had a sibling that died, Some of the singles today were first time momma's, but not all. It has been such a long busy stressful day with the loss of the three and trying to keep up with all other chores. I am really exhausted physically/mentally.

I would like everyone to know that the one baby below with the black eye and spots, DOES have two black eye's and the tips of both ears are black plus his poka dots, I just try to get a quick picture and try to get their sibs in the picture together, these babies are cuter than my pictures are displaying, it is just hard to get sibs to both look good at same time. Again I promise group pictures later for more cuteness overload.. We pulled two big live lambs today, the black lamb below is one of them, weight was 11 lbs 4 oz, I will post picture of the second one tomorrow evening, as it is one that was born later in the day and don't have picture yet.


Enjoy, SHELLY MAY
