Lambing/Breeding 2014-Parsnip

[Parsnip]

Had to shoo one of the lambs away from Diana today because they were really hunting for her udder.
I think one of Diana's wax plugs in her teat is gone now, because of the lambs trying to nurse.

I'll keep an eye out on her!

DIANA IS FINALLY GETTING AN UDDER.
It's a little fleshy bulb of an udder and not big at all, but you can tell it's filling out
So excited for May babies!!

Yay lol now you know how we felt with mans, but its always worth the wait, Lily is just so precious. Go Diana.

I've been through this crazy-ness before!
With my other ewes.

But like you said when they're here it's worth all the crazyness. I saw you getting a goat I really liked the two you picked out.

It sure is worth it!
WHAT AN EXPERIENCE RIGHT?

And thank you!
I plan to milk and then freeze the milk just in case of a bottle baby, or if there is suddenly something wrong with a ewe(God forbid)
But yes, just thinking ahead. I'll have a few yearling ewes I'm going to have bred this Spring.
Always good to have back-up just in case there's something that happens!!!

Plus I love goats, they are honestly like dogs heehee. So fun.

Before lily was born we went to tsc and got colostrum supplement just in case. But Mammy is a wonderful mom and Lily is nursing fine.

I'm glad Lily is doing good!

HERE'S THE LOVELY LADY.
She has not changed much haha, only thing is that the lambs keep trying to nurse off of her and she drips milk occasionally from her flat udder. whup... Her belly is fairly round and tight, but not big.
She's got a squishy tail a few inches u.

Here's some lady bit pictures of her from today.




Also, LOOK AT HOW BIG JILLIAN IS.
She just had her 3 month birthday! I'll have to get her weight this weekend.

If she was a bit bigger, she'd seriously almost be the size of MaryEllen. MaryEllen is just a small ewe :/
I'm actually considering possibly keeping Diana, because she's the biggest ewe I have, and has an excellent solid build. My dad said I have to sell one of my ewes, so I'm juggling Diana or MaryEllen in my head right now... I'll see how Diana does with a lamb first lol
