purplequeenvt Lambing 2016

[Southern by choice]

So sorry PQ.
Lambing and kidding seasons always bring so much joy with each new lamb and kid born but there is the other side... loss.
The loss of a ewe or a doe is truly harder than the loss of a lamb or a kid. I know you have just done everything you could for her, and you are so loving and nurturing toward your sheep, thankful that you have the lamb.

Sorry to hear about the loss of you ewe

Sincerely sorry for your losses. Babies are beautiful.

I finally got a nice picture of Baby Bea that didn't involve her lounging in a chair.

#513 Krypton - 12lb Border Leicester ram


He is out of my sister's ewe, River. Of course the little stinker waited until shortly AFTER my sister left for work to lamb.

The sheep are enjoying screwing with me this year. Generally, even without due dates, I can make a pretty good guess about how soon someone will lamb or who will lamb next. This year, I've given up. There were at least 4 ewes that are more "ready" than River. One of those ewes I've been keeping an eye on for almost 2 weeks.

I think they are trying to get as many lambs born as possible before I start my new job next week.

A better picture of Krypton


Steve had twins this morning at 2:30. #514 Rubidium (ewe on right) and #515 Strontium (ram on left)


9 ewes left to go. 4 should go any moment and the others have probably another 2-3 weeks.

New baby girl tonight. She's a black Border Leicester out of Rebecca's (the ewe that had to be put down) twin sister.
