Things did not go well on Monday night. We lost our Stevie Girl and her lamb. We are all heartbroken. Steve was a one in a million animal.



I ended up taking a half day at work on Tuesday (I work 5 am to 1:30 pm) as I was too upset. Pulled in the driveway just as my dad texted me to say that Minnie (2 year old 1st timer BL) had just had a black ram lamb. Minnie is Steve's granddaughter.

#1614 Lanthanum


Wednesday is my day off and we started the day off early with a single white Lincoln ewe out of Niki at 6:15 am.

#1615 Rakel


At 10 am River (BL) had ram/ewe twins

#1616 Creek and #1617 Brook


At 4:30 pm, Arizona (Southdown) had ram/ewe twins


5 ewes left to go.

So sorry you lost Stevie and her lamb. Always hard to lose any. Congrats on the follow up births. 5 more to go isn't so bad... Hope they're all successful :fl
