Roving Jacobs
Seeing Spots
As of right now I'm up to 4 sets of twins and a set of triplets from the jacobs (Jewel is a queen among sheep) and a single from the cormos (of course). Still waiting on 8 sheep and 4 goats. I only meant to breed 2 goats but they had other ideas. They're all synchronized though so everyone should be done having babies by the 21st.
This was the second lamb born here. She tried real hard to die of hypothermia but is doing alright now.
Her sister is a real looker.
Aster had giant twin boys.
Jewel not only had triplets for the second year in a row, but they were all girls!
They were a little crumpled up from the tight quarters.
And one needed a bit of a pick me up but she seems to be doing alright now. Nothing says "farmer" like standing around your bathroom with a slimy lamb down your bibs!
I'm putting on a class to teach women the basics of lambing/things you can do to save lambs this Sunday (1-4, there's still spots open if anyone is in NE OH and wants to join in!) and I'm glad there will be plenty of babies on hand for practice but I'm exhausted already. Why did I think grad school would be a good idea again?
