These two gals had udders more the size of a basketball...good thing with twins. So cold and keep warming up the newborns when they shiver...they now have little sweatshirt sleeve coats...hope that helps...used a propane tank with the heater attachment...may have to bring that out again if they get shivering again...both nursing well though.

Good luck with Wendy...and yes...she wants you crazy as a loon :)

How cold is it? This year is getting to be too much with the cold weather!!! We are 18 above right now but supposed to go back to 12 below 0F with wind chills in the -40's. Congrats!! I am still waiting on Bambi(hair ewe) and now Cagney(Wool ewe) is very swollen and her milk is coming in.

Did the 40 below thing back in Canada...so wind chills of minus 10 here in the Deep South is hard to take...not set up for that at all! We have some time before the next lambs, so going to sleep tonight.
Can't wait for you all's lambies to arrive safely!!!!

I can't even tell anymore haha, how's that?
I think I've finally gone bat poop crazy!!!

She's stayed the same this whole weekend. SO nothing new.
I was hoping she'd lamb in the nice weather, BUT I feel she is waiting for the rains to come ;)

Hope she goes soon....and yes, wouldn't it be nice to have them lamb in good weather and during the DAY????? So far our three ewes have all lambed between 4 and 5 am...and in cold, windy weather. Our next one up doesn't have a big udder yet...growing slowly and hope she waits until this next cold blast is over!

Go Wendy!!!!!!

DAY OR NIGHT, RAIN OR SHINE.
