Haha, she's gonna be a good mama when the time comes again.
I honestly can't wait another month.
But baby still has to cook a bit longer I guess.
Can't rush these sort of things!
Her udder is still incredibly small though.
OH WELL.
My Jess is a Katahdin and is due within a week or two and don't be shocked if your gal gets bigger yet...Jess is bigger than your gal in the photo and is getting an udder well under way...maybe we both get twins???
Parsnip...long cold nights...sleep deprivation...checking often...and yet, lambing season is my fav season of all!!! New babies arriving...any kind of babies...I love it!!!!
I can usually get an idea of number on our girls just by looking at them, but there are always surprises. The older girls that have lambed several times for you are often easier to guess then the first timers or recently aquired sheep.
My sister and I like to look at all the ewes and estimate how many lambs we are going to get and then compare that to the actual numbers after lambing is over.
If this is Wendy's 2nd lambing and since she's still a month away and she's a primitive type breed - I wouldn't surprise if she has twins.
We are just over a month away as well. The ewes all get sheared on 1/4/14 and then it will be so much easier to keep an eye on "progress" back there.

You asked for a photo...well, Jess did not show signs that she was so close and felt safe going to bed last night after last check...woke up early and she had lambed!!!! Will try to get a pic on here for you, but haven't tried to post pics since the forum changed....
Nope...need a URL and don't have that on my Kodak program...have to go back and find out how to do that on here???
