Love the brown faced ewe lamb! I love lambing, it never gets old. You never know what you're going to get, white or spotted.

Our #54 ewe started delivery about 20 minutes ago and so far she is working on cleaning off a black lamb and it looks like another is coming. She has had triplets the last two times and was big enough to definitely be a possibility this time. So far they have all had their lambs during the day.

The ewe that had the C Section has started producing milk again and the ram lamb is only drinking a couple of ounces from the bottle but the ewe is getting closer to 8 ounces. I have to start working on Little Bit since he likes his back scratches way too much and will paw you till he gets some.

Glad to hear the c-section ewe is coming into her milk. That will be a big help and if they keep working on her, hopefully you will be able to stop bottle feeding her lambs.
Nice they are lambing during the day. Makes it easier if you need to help or intervene. Hope 54 has healthy lambs whether twins or trips.

Nice they are lambing during the day.

I think Mike's girls are breaking the "ewe code"!

We got 54 and her ram and ewe lambs moved. These lambs are both a little over 9 lbs and acted like they were 3 or 4 days old instead of hours. One of the yearlings had a set of twins while we were out moving 54.

What pretty lambs. love the colors!

We weren't sure what Cooper would bring as far as color until the lambs started coming.

We had to leave the yearling and her lambs in the field until morning. She had not finished cleaning them and she was too skittish this close to dark. I REALLY don't like this getting dark at 4:30

We moved the #83 ewe and her twins that were born yesterday afternoon. Ginger had a ewe lamb and a ram lamb a couple of hours ago. She will follow me anywhere so we also moved her and her lambs to the nursery paddock.

Cooper got busy didn’t he?

We were starting to wonder when they started lambing three weeks later than expected.
