My camera isn't cooperating and I think the shutter is sticking open since 12 of the 15 pictures I took awhile ago are over exposed (including the newest lamb). I'll still post the couple I did get. We will be bringing everyone in over the next couple of weeks for shots and weights but the 1st born lambs are growing like weeds.
The other picture is one of our yearling group that will be lambing soon. I'm hoping her coat sheds better over time since I like her lines.
I need to figure out what sheep code makes one of them to have to go pee in most of the pictures I take.

And now we know WHY it is called ducking"!
I bet Teresa could have helped with that. All you needed to do was ask.

I do have to ask since the arm doesn't always want to go where I need it to.
She drove us into Nashville for the first time ever today since I normally do all of the driving but can't move the gear shift so she is doing her part and I'm getting to gawk at some pretty scenery that I haven't been able to check out before now.

Here is the last born #29 ewe lamb after putting an ear tag on her - it's a ewe lamb and a big girl. She was right at 12.5 today so probably a little over 11.5 at birth and is from the ewe that we had to pull a lamb from last season. You can barely tell it but she is going to have dark spots all over her head and back. That's two seasons in a row that this ewe had a single but since she has perfect confirmation and throws big lambs she can stick around.
We still have one more from this bunch to lamb (maybe) then the last eight could start as early as the 21st of this month. We will call them all in the shelter before the next batch starts to lamb to give vaccinations and check/trim hooves. My shoulder is a long way from being usable so I've been making good use of our friend and helper Jay (who is holding the lamb).

That Jay is one fine young man and a great help to you! Beautiful lamb, will her spots show up good in her coat, or just be on her skin where you see them when she gets wet?

I'm not sure how or if the spots will show. The coat on this one is different than any of our others so we shall see.
