Well BrownSheep was mostly right!!
We have a BIG single ewe lamb (11.2 lbs!!), born today around 4 pm
She is soooo cute! Looks like a little Romney with a really light charcoal smudge on her nose I think her right front leg is all brown (or it could just be the mud). She is sooo healthy. I don't know if it's genetics (new ram/breed) or the way I fed my ewes during late gestation BUT she is so big and filled out and stocky and she looks & acts like she's a couple days old already, but she's only 4 hours old!
As for being a single, I am a little disappointed in Ali. Then again she did lamb 9 months ago with twins. But then again she is in her prime (she'll be 4 at the end of the month) so no excuses. And her mom's lambing record is 1-2-2-2. Sooo Ali better redeem herself next year!

Lol I was at work from 11-7, but I had a 20-30 minute commute to my job, so I was gone for like 9 hrsBridgemoof said:

I told my mom though right before I left that Ali was going to lamb today, so keep an eye on her. I got my lunch break around 2ish today so I was like texting my mom asking for updates and she said Ali was laying on her side with her feet stretched out having contractions and would get up and walk around some.
Then just as the flooring crew were packing up, the one girl who saw the sheep from the front yard got my mom's attention and said she had her baby. So they went out and took pictures. I'm uploading the ones my mom took now.

Newly born ewe lamb
Looks like it was a meconium birth?
And I took these photos tonight when I got home from work. I was going 15-20 mph above the speed limit because I was so psyched.
My mom even came to work to show me pictures and of course I showed them to all my co-workers and all the girls were ooing and aahhhing at her lol
And then I brought her in to weigh her and dip her navel in iodine. The dogs loved her lol
And then I brought her back outside and put her in the sheep shack out of the wind. Ali does tend to walk away without making sure her baby is in tow, but she's well fed and wasn't shivering much, so I don't think I will pen them up. The only thing I'm concerned about is Katy Perry & Lady Gaga's curiosity! They keep sniffing her and the baby gets confused and tries to nurse off them and they butt her away lol But again, I found her with a nice full belly so I know she's successfully nursing off Ali. So I won't worry about it.
