There are three of them that when you run your hand down their bellies it feels like lambs are already running.

The ewe we call Wild Thang had a single lamb about an hour ago. I had to go out and run off one ewe that was trying to adopt her lamb. I'll get pictures later but his one is probably a long legged 11 pounds or so.

She has a 10.3 pound ram lamb. You can't tell at this point but based on his build we may record him and sell as a commercial ram rather than send him to market. We'll see in about 5 months either way. The ewes moved around enough to all be in the same frame so I went ahead and took the picture.

The last picture is our spotted ewe we just call Mama. I like to think she's ready to pop but she is just peacefully laying there.

I took a picture of GeGe also (sh'e the closest in the frame). She is the ewe we bought back in September that has had parasite problems. Her fecal a few days ago was really good and she is starting to put weight back on. Whenever I go out to feed the dogs I always take a feed bucket and she gets it all by herself.

Cuteness overload!

Two of the ewes are showing signs they are due any moment especially the spotted ewe. Of course, now that I've made it public, they will tuck it back in and wait for another day.

No more posts about lambing until I see the next lamb.

We noticed our scale wasn't zeroed out when we were putting it up so went down and weighed the ram lamb - he weighs 12.7 pounds.
