Lambing/Breeding 2014-Parsnip

[Parsnip]

I'm so proud of her!
Bless her heart she's such a trooper.
She was my first sheep EVER, so I feel like a grandma I think.

She won't be the last one to lamb in 2014 though!
I'm going to have my two other ewes bred in April.
So there will hopefully be more babies in September/October!!!

I bet I'll post pictures here once in a while, but for the most part it'll be dead until Fall 2014 haha

I just looked out the window and I can see another new little lamb too! This one is mostly chocolate brown, with a little white!!! I haven't even been down to see it yet - my coffee is still hot and it doesn't look like she needs any help - but I'll take my camera when I go and get some pictures.

WOW Congrats!
I love chocolate colored lambies!

After coffee you have to take pictures!!!!
Do you know how many more ewes you have due?

He is a little ram lamb!

I only have one ewe left to lamb but I checked her this morning and she still doesn't even look close. However she is bigger than either of my other ewes were at delivery so I suspect she is carrying twins.

I'm sorta disappointed this one is a ram because I don't need more than one ram, so we will be butchering any ram lambs born this year. This one is so pretty - and so different from any of my other sheep - that I was hoping it was another ewe.

My first lamb is now 6 days old and very sure on her feet. Isn't it funny how fast they look like the "older" lamb and how newborn the new ones seem? I imagine that is even more true for you since your first lambs are already a few weeks old!

He's SO CUTE I love the spots!
And he looks like a big guy!
What breed is he?


My other lambs are 3 weeks old today I think.
They're so big and sturdy compared to the little ones!
I'm surprised with Irene though. She's half the size of her brother, but has so much spunk!
They were still wobbly on their legs this morning, BUT they were jumping around and falling down and it was so cute. I could watch them all day.
I really need to take a picture of them now that they are dried off and warm and fuzzy.
Their coats are SLEEK, unlike the other lambs who are as fluffy as can be!
TOO BAD I HAVE SCHOOL TODAY AND WON'T BE HOME UNTIL 4:30!!!!!
I have to leave very soon, so toodles for now, I'll talk to you later!
AND I'll post more pics of Irene and Marty when I get back!

Congrats Wom! Pretty baby!

I LOVE LAMBS.
Seriously, I'm all excited all over again lol

Here's some pictures from this afternoon


I have a feeling that the brown/tan spot on Irene's face will fade away.
