Twin ram lambs popped out a little over an hour ago. The dam is our 21 ewe who is Notags daughter. They have exactly the same calm personality.

One of our senior ewes had a single ewe lamb early this morning which is a first for her since she has always had twins. We still have 3 of the older girls to lamb and then the rest are yearling first timers. Since I had the camera to get a picture of 33 and her lamb for our records, I took a couple of shots of feeding time. There are so many that I also put a few troughs in the chute area do they have plenty of room. Notag has settled down from lambing and I was able to sex her lambs - both of them are ewes.

So, do lambs jump and play like goat kids do? I’m not familiar with them yet...maybe they will be at our farm next year? :). They are sure cuties!! Congrats!!

We got caught up with ear tags this morning. One of the lambs was three days old so we have no idea where they had been hiding. The advantage of having tame sheep is that we can work them in the field without any problem since while the mom is distracted getting bits of Animal Cracker, the lamb is easily picked up and tagged. We much prefer that with the new lambs since I'm always afraid they will get trampled by putting that large a number in the stalls,

Two were lambing while we were out there but not in a position for a picture without bothering the ewes.
