Haha our ram, who is agressive to people, loves lambs he lets them crawl all over them. A pair bottle babies even trid to nurse him.
My ewe had a ewe lamb early this morn. Now what?

I will keep an eye on him.
He was not aggressive to the lamb she had last may. If he does get pushy at this time its freezer camp. I don't have a place set up just for him.

He is the only ram on the place. We keep the goats and one buck in back yard area.
So far that is the only animal that the ram has flattened. Was the little goat buck.

Congrats on the little cutie!!!!! I am still waiting for my 2 black belly girls to pop, any day now 
. Those black and tan lambs are just to die for!!
It should be good with the temperatures as longs as the little one is dry, I always time my girls for late december-mid feb births, which is the coldest time of the year here and they do fine once they are up and running and dry.
I always worry and put tons of fresh straw in their shelter and then they go and sleep out in the snow at -27......
I dont vaccinate my sheep so i cannot give you an answer on that one but by the looks of it others got that covered anyhow.
My rams are sweethearts around lambs too, they let them chew on everything and they are actually the designated nannies of the flock, the ewes will seriously ditch the rams with all the lambs.

That makes me feel much better. I went out there an hour ago and found em outside the barn. I put the baby back in the barn. The ewe went right in. She prolly is thinking why don't I mind my own business.

They drive one nuts dont they? 
I use to go out every couple hours at night just to put the lambs back in the straw in the shelter, seriously by the time I closed the gate behind me and shone the light back they were already bouncing around outside of it.
Havent had a lamb-sicle yet *knock on wood*. How many more ewes are due to lamb?

Not sure really. I think she is the only one.

@boothcreek--I know exactly what you mean. LOL I bet they do think we are nuts and wish we would mind our own business. 
I know they are designed for all this, but we humans still worry and fret over them.
