Moving On | A bright Future |

Hi everyone! Updating because last week I missed my weekly updte mark, so Im updating today cause I normally do on Tuesdays.(To get back in gear and all) Also this is my nice camera not my cruddy phone

As always this means pictures!

Here is Mammy from last night. Her udder is now visible without having to get up close. Her stomach is big, big BIG! No movement from the baby/babies but I have heard you don't always see movement so I'm not too concerned. (But worried, as always )



Lily is like, Mom your so fat! Im so lucky she doesn't kick Rumen looks very full,
lamb/lambs have moved over and are
hogging the right side.


Stretching to see if the feed box is open. Mom and daughter, look nothing alike.
Also might be that she is uncomfortable Cant see her baby bump, but this pic is
too sweet not to share!!


Enjoy -Luv

Question about CDT vaccine.

Where can I get it?

Will it harm her/the lambs if we give it to early (or too late) ?

Last year we didn't give it at all I just heard about it so wanna make sure we have it.

Last year was the first time I used it and my ewes are due for their yearly shot in April....however, had planned this year to do the ewes a month before lambing....had a mishap in the sheep paddock and dinged my back pretty good and that did not happen. But I have given the oldest lambs both their shots...and later born twin girls are now due their second shot. Littlest one has yet to get first shot....my calendar is all marked up with who is due when.

I get my CDT vaccine, antibiotics, wormer, needles, etc...about everything from ValleyVet.com. They are reasonable and ship promptly and not a long wait. Also impressed how they package it with dry ice to keep it cool while being shipped. BUT...many livestock supply stores sell it too in store...Tractor Supply, if you have a local Co-op and some bigger feed stores do too.

When my ewes are looking very close to lambing, I just don't want to mess with them too much, but that is just me...I'm sure others on here can tell you better about the timing with lambing.

As I felt Mammy's belly for the first time, I felt kicks. It started with the usual gas rumbling, but after about 30 seconds I felt two kicks on my hand then a third. That baby must be active. I'm so excited, these next few weeks will feel like years

I've voting for triplets too. And shooting the moon, let's just say 3 girls!

We will be happy as long as the babies are happy and healthy. But twin or triplet ewes would be nice

I think it was a single baby who kicked. I feel like the way I worded it made it seem like each was a seperate baby. Anyhow now I know we are getting there!

3- 1ewe 2 ram or 2 ewes 1ram
or twins 1 of each or 2 ewes or 2 rams

I think I got all bets covered!

Haha! I just hope it's not a whopping single like her daughter Lily from last year. It was her first lambing so that's normal. But now I think it is twins, but as I mentioned before trips would be nice
