2012 Lambing Report: Part 2

Today's lambs looking for their first drink.
We had a very pleasant surprise when we went out to the barn this morning. We found that another ewe had successfully delivered twin rams. They were so new that they were still wet and Mom was just beginning to lick them off. Once safely in the pen they were quite quick in figuring out which end and part of Mom the food comes from. For her part, she is a very protective mother, who is quite sure that we don't really need to pick up the lambs and check them over. 

This brings our lamb total for 2012 to 4 rams. Good news for a couple more lamb customers!
