omg she had a girl too!
I went back down there, and she was being excellent and cleaning and nudging the boy to stand.
THEN I HEAR THIS SQUELTCHY NOISE.
And there is a little yellowish sac with a little white lamb inside.
The lamb is seriously the smallest one I've ever seen.
She's TINY. But she got up before the boy and is searching for the udder as I type.
She's ALL WHITE, except for this brown splotch on the left side of her face.
I hope she's alright!

~~~ MaryEllen seems willing to let them nurse! So I think we'll be okay

Whew I'm glad that's over with!
MaryEllen was in labor the WHOLE DAY by the time she started pushing FOR REAL she was soooo tired. After seeing a half hour of just front toes of the lamb, and MaryEllen barely pushing, I helped pull the first lamb I was excited to see white legs and a brown nose!
Then unexpectedly the girl shows up! She's so small...
I had to hold MaryEllen and guide the little ones to her teats, they both got a good drink and MaryEllen let them after a while.


The little girl is in the front





Congrats on being a first time mommy MaryEllen!
The babies are roughly 50% Dorper, 43% Katahdin and 7% Blackbelly
