:yuckyuck but true! I have had so many sheep sneak off and lamb and you'd never know they were close by looking at their butts.

That may be true with your sheep, but sure isn't with mine! :lol: We have pink butts, freckled butts, and black butts. Some get really puffy a couple weeks before lambing and some hours before. Some hardly get puffy at all. :D

Haha, all of our sheep had purple booties. They would completely turn a rosy pink 2-3 days before lambing. I think a freckled butt would be cool, though :plbb

Well little Miss Ali when I just checked on her was grunting/moaning a little bit and she was holding her tail up a little, too. No discharge, still has some purple on her who-ha.

:pop

Whoever can guess when Ali lambs, how many she has, and (if you want) what gender(s), wins bragging rights. Sorry for the lame 'prize' but I couldn't think of anything lol
