Remuda1-Haps and Mishaps at KB Farms - Poor little Lambies ;)

[Remuda1]

Glad to have another one down . All three are laying down and relaxing now. So far she's been a great mom. Second baby was much smaller than the first but they've both already been hopping and bopping. I really had forgotten what first timer udders look like...... I thought we had a good bit more time to wait on her. I went ahead and put the two other first timers into the small paddock as well. So now only the wether, the ram and one ewe that will not be lambing until much later (she developed a uterine infection so I think the fetus either died or was absorbed) are left in the large pasture. Once all the ewes lamb, I'll switch them out with the ram and wether only in the small paddock and the moms and babies in the large pasture. If the ram sells (keeping fingers crossed!!) then the wether will stay with the ewes and life will be a lot easier . This leaves 3 ewes that are imminent.

Tomorrow the hubster is going to the hunting lease to take a replacement mini fridge down there and maybe squirrel hunt or fish. I'm going to get the chores done, do a little office work and relax . Sunday is SuperBowl, will probably have the folks over for that. Y'all have a good and restful night, later taters

Thought I saw one of the new babies underneath one of the panels that make up the pen so I went out to investigate with flash light in hand. As I am walking through the paddock, I'm checking out all of the other ewes and babies and OH WAIT..... That wasn't here last night . One of the other first timers was nursing a new ram lamb. Awesome! That means I'm that much closer to having them all done and I can switch the large group to the large paddock. Don't know if she was finished but I will post pictures once it's daylight. Yay lambs!!

So much excitement in a very narrow space of time!

YAY for babies! Love the birthing shots. Just something so amazing about seeing new life begin.

Another set of twins this morning. A ewe and a ram. So far this season, 13 lambs from 8 ewes. 7 rams, 6 ewes. I'll happily take that percentage, lol .

Blahaha, guess which one is the ram???

Here's the little single ram born on the 2nd

And the twins born on the first. They are tiny and I am supplementing them.

Only one more that is imminent, then a straggler, but she's months out. Lovin me some babies!!

Congratulations again!!!!! I'm guessing the solid black head is the ram lamb?

Edited since I don't seem to be able to spell sold and solid...doh...

Congrads, almost at the home stretch now

Congratulations again!!!!! I'm guessing the sold black head is the ram lamb?

Lol, yup. He's the one pooing .

Yes Shelly, not long now. I love it when the size of the flock seems like it explodes overnight . But then when they're gone, it seems deserted around here!
