J and M Sheep Lambing Thread, THE STORM HAS BEGUN

[EllieMay]

Note: Ellie May, was in awh yesterday and she was so amazed at all that was happening and seeing all those babies that I lost her attention on the job sometimes, she would just be standing there and wanting to pick the babies up and dry them off and cuddle them in her coat and watching momma's deliver new babies while see was there, she was watching and watching and watching....some times I forgot she is new into sheep. But she was a great help to me and I just need to go out and get her those horse blinders that they put on horses

Today I'm wearing blinders AND ear plugs.

You gotta understand that when you (I) walk out into a field covered in babies (a gabillion of 'em) and half of them are crying for momma, all you (I) wanna do is grab 'em and keep 'em warm till momma FINALLY decides she wants to come tend to her baby. I got so mad at those moms just ignoring their babies!!
Like I told you last night, we need to create a Powerpoint presentation to teach these moms to STAY WITH THEIR BABIES!!!!

Okay, so today is tough-love day! Those moms/babies are ON THEIR OWN!!!

Whew!!!! You are soooooooo going to need a vacation after this Lambie photos are so adorable...I mean adorable!!!! I was hoping Buttons would have triplets that all looked just like her...love her unusual spots...and yeah...our ewes still look pregnant after they lamb too.

Despite the cold and mud...I bet Ellie May was in lambie heaven!!! I'd probably need horse blinders too...just so much lambie cuteness I'm not new to sheep, but have a small flock and with a super large flock like yours and so many lambs...oh yeah...so, if I can ever come help will bring horse blinders for sure

Very clever bottle bucket! That one white lamb with the black polka dots looks like it has my name on it...ewe or ram lamb? Love it's spots!!!!

Glad it is the weekend coming up soon and I wouldn't worry too much about eating late and putting on any weight...bet you are losing weight with all that excersize!!!!

Take some time to relax...deep breaths...and put a hot tub soak in your schedule somewhere...know all about pulling muscles you never knew you had until you do some break dancing moves slipping in mud!

Thanks Bon, the white one with spots on bucket is a RAM lamb, but I have aleast 4 of them now that look just like that and some are EWE lambs, I promise when the weather clears up and everyone looks dry and cute, I will get pictures of them all, and yes I do have a very big spa tub in my master bedroom that I might need to use when this is all over with don't have time to even use it right now, that could be more time out tagging/wieghing lambies.

Just looked at calendar a minute ago, NO NO NO, I have 100 baby chicks coming in 6 days from the hatchery, (australorps) I so need a vacation!!!!!
