AN UPDATE HERE
Wow

I should have lambs in 2-3 weeks I think!
Jillian, Wendy and Pax are FOR SURE pregnant.
I think Jillian is going to have a single, and Wendy too.
PAX HOWEVER is the biggest thing in the world and she's so done with everything and everyone right now.
Literally. I think there's huge twins in there. She's enormous, I have never had a ewe as pregnant as her before.

I think Pax actually, might lamb first even though she was bred last out of the now pregnant ladies.
Her lady parts are SO red, but her udder is very very very small. She's big though. Maybe she won't get an udder until the day before?

Will post pics soon!!!

Okay here's some pics as promised!!!
Just a heads up there's going to be quite a few under the tail pics here. But that's okay. Just lettin ya know.

Here's Jillian who could honestly really lamb anyday. But I'm thinking maybe next week.




Wendy's babies were moving for many hours this morning! I could see and feel them squirming around!




AND here's Pax. Who is the largest.



But here's all the 3 girls due in 2-3 weeks!!!
progress, progress...

She is pretty huge! She comes from a lot of genetically single birth lines but she's huge.
Hoping its not one massive baby lol.

Maybe on New Years, lol would be nice if Jillian had her lambs on her due date like her half-sister did!

Now you can hope for New Years lambs :) Just curious, what is the exact number of days you use for the due date? Everything I have seen is in a range of at least a week long.

I really love your red, brown, and liver colored sheep... I am hoping for some of my own in May!

I do the general 145 days but give 'em a little more than a week before and a week after. I figure they're game for about 10 days before, or 10 days after their estimated 145 day due date.

Mmm! YES.
Wendy in particular is a lovely deep red/liver color with a white blaze and white feet. AND her white tipped tail which she has passed onto all her lambs so far. LOVE that.

My first lamb arrived on December 3rd...much to my surprise !!!! Than another 3 days later!!! Obviously my calculations were way off..lol...first two were single boys...then on the 22nd got twin girls :) Looking forward to your lambies....I've only got one ewe left to lamb and she's a few weeks off I'd guess....your girls are looking great and I'm excited for you!!!! Here's a pic of the four lambs pretending to eat out of a feeder that is totally empty...LOL
