My girls pack inside the shelters, but some still lay outside the shelters. Lambs all go in and pile up together. For the 4 cow panel shelter in the front field, I put a tarp over the fence to block the wind. Eh, it works. The coldest it’s been here so far is 16 degrees.

I went down to the feed store in Alabama and picked up 1000 lbs. which should be enough feed to get us into better weather. At least feed prices have stabilized here and in fact they were a bit cheaper than the last few times. The last time I bought feed it was $12 bag with it being $11.75 this time.

Oshi did a better job with the ewes this lambing season and they aren't nearly as spread out as last time. We have two ewes left that look ready to lamb and it looks like all 19 will have lambed in a 12-14 day time frame. We had sent in Jack as a clean up ram but it looks like they were all bred by Oshi by the time he got in with the ewes.
