Glad Zirconium is doing well! Sorry about Penny, those are hard decisions to make.

On my screen they both look like they are a nice deep chocolate color - are they really?

They are both black/grey. I think it's the light from the heat lamp making them look brown.

Lucie gave us a 15 lb white ram lamb and an 11 lb black ewe lamb tonight. Both babies were feet-first breech. I had to pull both out. No way the ram was coming out alive by himself. He was way too fat and long. Thankfully I got him out quickly so he didn't inhale anything.

I started a new job (phlebotomist) at the hospital this week so I've been busy with training (8-4:30 every weekday). Not as much time for pictures. This is the best I could do in the dark.

#518 Niobium (white ram) and #519 Molybdenum (black ewe)


There's only 2 BL and 4 Shetlands left to go in this group. The 3 remaining Shetlands are due in June along with the goat(s) and cow.

Congrats on all of the beautiful lambs.
Just caught up on your thread, really sorry about losing the ewe to the prolapsed uterus.
I love kidding season, but I'm also so worried about problems and particularly that we will not be here and lose a doe.
It's always a mixture of good and bad, joy and sorrow with animals.
:hugs
