Very nice! I am at least five weeks away from lambs, so getting to see all the cute pictures helps!

No new babies since Saturday, but there is one ewe that's acting "suspicious" today. She's a 2nd generation bottle baby (grandma didn't have milk so my sister bought the lambs from a friend, mother got sick during her late pregnancy and barely had the strength to give birth and she died the next day) so I'd really like her to lamb while I'm around in case of problems.

Goat on a Shelf. Similar to Elf on a Shelf but much better. Why? Because the goat moves itself! No more forgetting to move the elf every night.

After a week long wait, we finally have new lambs. The first of the Shetland lambs were born last night around 10 pm. Right on their due date too! Mom, Signe, had been acting strange all day, but at 8:30 she was laying outside chewing her cud so I decided to go to bed. An hour later, my sister texted me to say that she was in labor, water bag and toes!
Signe had our first set of twins and our first ram lamb for the 2016 lambing season.
Twin #1 - gray katmoget ewe
Twin #2 - black (will be gray) ram with small white spots

Upon closer inspection, I discovered that Signe's girl is actually brown/fawn instead of gray (black based). Nice surprise.

Oh, I forgot one other thing....
My sister wanted to get a buckling to keep her one little doeling company. The plan being to castrate the buckling and butcher him in the fall. When she called the farm she was getting him from, she was told that they had just had a set of triplets from a FF (they don't keep FF kids) and it was a 2 for 1 deal. Ok, fine. 2 bucklings to eat. Well....when she got there to pick them up, one of the "bucklings" was missing his testicles. That's right, it was a doe. So she got 2 LaMancha kids, 1 buck and 1 doe, for $15.
"Martha" is cream and white
"Ralph" is the brown and black (he has white on his belly) at the back.
"Addie" is the black and white in the middle.
