Finally have some pictures!!!
Lady's two (These are the first two i had born!)
Cinder and her rams:
Jazz and her dark-faced boys!
Patty and Monster (The three day old giant!)
Salt and her teeny tiny week-old lambs (they're only 5lbs each!)
(to the left is Monster, the three day old in comparison to them!) One of them is so sweet, she comes to be picked up and will lick your neck once you do (this is due to her being bottle fed for her first few days of life, but I'm telling myself its because she loves me)

Scout and her big healthy boy
Scout's little sickly boy. His brother was born double his size, and butts him away from the milk. So even though they're over a week old, they're still in the jug until we can ensure this guys gaining weight (we've been bottle feeding him) and hes starting to gain some weight, so he might move out soon!
One of Snow's boys
His ear tags make his ears floppy!
Daisy's Triplets
One of Auroras ADORABLE lambs. I love her markings!!
(Shes top left)
Aurora's adorable ram!
Alice's triplet girls:
One of Gem's boys, BUT OKAY THIS IS FREAKY.
This is Gems boy from last year, (Whom we called Dobby)
And this is her boy from this year! SPOOKY!
The flock:
This little lamb i cant remember who they belong to, but they're sure cute!

Oh, I think Princess will go soon!
She's distancing herself from everyone else, everytime i go out there she hasn't eaten or even gone near the food, and shes got a little bit of white discharge on her hoo-haw. Heres hoping!

Im worried about Nala,
Shes been prolapsing on and off the last two weeks. When she has the belt, shes fine.. But within hours of it coming off she starts prolapsing again.
Im worried that when she has her lambs she'll just keep pushing out all her insides and we wont be able to fix it..
Has anyone else experienced a ewe prolopsing prior to lambing, and how'd that turnout for you? Is there anything we can do for her?
She lambed twins just fine last year and was a great mama

Princess lost her lamb 
She was in all night and in the morning we turned her back out.. An hour later we found a little frozen ewe lamb. It was only -4 c. Poor mama was trying to get her up. Its terrible that shes with all the other ewes who have their babies. We're considering moving her with Minnie and the boys

Nala (The ewe that was prolapsing) was appearing to go into labor, this morning we went in there and she had twin ram lambs. They were still covered in birth goop which makes me believe they were born dead? I only think this because she has had lambs before, and was a great mother to them.
Is it possible they would have died due to her having the prolapse?

So sorry for your loss.
Its hard but farming and raising animals always comes with a catch. I had a breeding pair of Buff Orpingtons. I raised them together, but one day we came and the roo had a broken neck. Its hard such as when we lost a ewe to a stroke along with her lamb. I hope your last ewe lambs perfectly with no complications. We are still waiting on our ewe mammy to lamb, maybe they will have theres on the same day...that would be cool.
