She lambed this morning!!!!! I went out to check the sheep at 6:30 am and nothing was going on. I went out again at 9 and she had water bag!

Anyway, she had twin girls. One was black and one was white. I was really hoping for a spotted girl like she had last year.

I may decide to keep one because they are completely unrelated to any of the rams that we will be using in the future.

They are so cute! I don't know much about lambs, but I like the dark one with the white patch on its head best. Mom looks so peaceful.

We had another lamb this morning! I slept in a little because no one looked close enough to go when I checked them last night. I went out to the barn around 7:15 instead of 6:30. The barn was quiet, nothing seemed different so I was heading over to check on the ewes and lambs in jugs when I saw someone that that didn't seem quite familiar. It look like the black lamb that was born yesterday, but neither the lamb nor the ewe in the jug were fussing. Then I realized that it didn't have any tags and we had docked and tagged everyone yesterday.

Anyway, we had a a black crossbred ram lamb born sometime this morning, probably around 5 or so judging by how dry the lamb was and the lack of placenta. I did take some pictures, but Little Person is here so I'll have to post them later.
