Picks from the snow storm.
Twinkle-Toes can't choose which trough to eat out of. So indecisive!

Wishing you a great lambing season!!!

Okay, now I don't feel so bad, lol. I was starting to think my Cheviot was a miniature cheviot because she's not much smaller than my Babydoll crosses. But now that I see yours is only a tad bit bigger (and I would guess older, too) so that eases my mind, haha.

I see some baby bumps! I bet you're still another 2-3 weeks out. Maybeeee a month. Mine were looking like yours just before I got sick, around the beginning of February, and now they're popping out babies. (Well they should be, lol, but they're holding them in!)

Gosh they are all soooo cute, good luck! i have two whom i am tapping my foot about... one i am fairly positive is twins, other don't think so.. i figure anywhere between this weekend and end of March, i am forever checking doing an extra hey, how are you at night after closing up birds.

I knew the majority of the dates last year, playing clueless this year, seriously will aim for a chalking harness for next go 'round.. i would at least like a ballpark my poor sanity can only handle so much.

Good luck to you! now if only my weather would temper.

Cheviot will be a year old in March.
1 week til March! Didn't realize that until my mother told me last night! =0
No wonder my two old gals look so wide! I'm the one who's lagging behind, lol.

Rabbits are having kits, older kits are growing up, new hay came in yesterday and my 2 old ewes tried to help me, along with the dog. lol. Horse is sick of no grass and has started to trim my tree. Pigs are refusing to come out into the cold snow.

Oh, man. I'm going to have to stare at all my ewes tomorrow during lunch feeding. Went out to feed them dinner and nearly all the first timers looked a little wide! =0
Can't tell if it was from food or lambs baking!
If it is lambs, I really, really, hope they can care for them!! That would be so many bottle babies!!

Blanka is for sure filling up with milk! CC looks like she's second in line.

My first timers for the most part have been good. Last year I had two first timers with difficult births and rejected their lambs. I'm confident that if they didn't have issues lambing they would've claimed their babies. Ewes were overfed, my dad kept feeding them and feeding them because he read that as long as they're eating they stay warm. Even when I asked him to stop feeding my sheep, he didnt. He learned his lesson and let me be the only one to feed this year, lol. So far no major issues lambing. Just had one with a stuck foot so far. Otherwise my first timers have been really good protective mommas, especially my 3/4 Babydoll ewe. She was a great mommy to her ram lamb at 11.6 months old.

Rather assume the worst and be semi-ready for it than assume the best and be totally blindsided.

Well, hard to see what I'm seeing in these pictures. But all of them have some amount of wide/roundness going on. Maybe I'm just hoping it's lambs and not food or something else, lol.

What do you guys see? Click link below to see the photo album. Names are in caps and bold near each sheep.

Two old gals are 100% baking something.
White nosed ewe (Lambee) & Shelly look to be carrying as well. Both 2nd timers.
Rest are the first timers, Chocolate, Vanilla, Periwinkle, Lolla, Cheviot.

Officially March!
And there's still snow on the ground...ugh...

No lambs yet, maybe they are waiting for this dumb snow to melt away first!

It was supposed to be warm this week. Weatherman is pulling randomness outta his rear end again!

Today is 50F, supposed to snow tonight and tomorrow with the possibility of 4-8 inches! =0 Nooooo!
