Lambing/Breeding 2014-Parsnip

[Parsnip]

Any babies yet from anyone??

Anything from your ewe?

 

[Parsnip]

Naw, she's basically the same lol
Although yesterday she was off eating by herself, and she's going through these episodes of licking/itching her belly.

Nothing here...just keep getting bigger and more uncomfortable...DH went out in the cold during the night to check them...maybe if we stop checking they'll hurry up? LOLOL...not sure how much bigger they can get? Dolly is now 7 years old and has never had anything but singles...if there are not twins in there, expecting a huge lamb that she may need help with?

 

[Parsnip]

GOSH I know, Wendy is doing nothing but pacing right now
Poor girl, she has her head low and takes a mouthful of grass here and there.
Other than that though, she's on the move!

I think Wendy will have a big single. I'd rather have a good sized single, than two smaller twins.
I'm more of a hobby farmer, not a huge production one. So quality over quantity

Is Dolly ENORMOUS?
A huge single would be awesome, but maybe not so awesome for the ewe...
I wish her all the luck in the world

Here's Wendy today!
Not much change. Her udder looked a bit rounder today, but that's about it



She's had that dip in front of her hips or about 3 days now, I assume it's the infamous "belly drop"?
WHICH WOULD BE AMAZING.

It does look like she has dropped..... But I have not had any experience with lambing, only kidding.


Could you tell her to hurry up, she has everybody waiting

I'm seeing no dip like that in either of my very preggo ewes...felt both of their sides and felt a lamb kick on both of them...was hoping for kicks on both sides to indicate twins...nope...still waiting here and would be very happy to see that dip on Dolly and or Chickapee. Not big here either...only have 5 ewes and 1 ram. Twins are so cute though!

 

[Parsnip]

I just noticed that on her Wednesday!
I'd feel Wendy's sides, BUT she is super sensitive to her belly area right now.
If I touch her, her skin gets all twitchy and she kicks and trots off :/

I have four ewes and one wether lamb(WHO KEEPS TRYING TO NURSE FROM WENDY AND MARYELLEN. THAT BRAT)
Plus our two guard alpacas.

bonbean you have the cutest names for your sheep ever. Honestly! I LOVE THEM.

Well thank you...Chickapee was a twin...and name comes from the movie Nell...what she called her sister...the ram twin was just named Brother...not too great...LOLOL. Here is a pic I took of Dolly this afternoon...
