No they bought piglets but he loved the sheep and goats. They are coming back in the spring to buy some lambs. He just asked to name one of the unnamed ones and i told him yes he was welcome to as long as it was a good name. He picked hot chocolate and wanted it to be the small brown sheeps name(spring 2018 lamb). I think it's a fine name and agreed that could be her name.
I hope it all goes well too.

Ivy dropped on friday so I don't think she is going to make Feb 15th. She is pretty big already, so I'm really wondering what she has in there. If she does have another month to go she is gonna be a miserable lady.
We are building stalls/jugs today, and hopefully a heat barrel tomorrow. Those have been on the agenda but not gotten too. DH did get the shop wall lined with offset solid plywood where the pens will go. We also currently have a makeshift sick pig stall in the way.
Either way we need to get stalls built and Ivy in one. Tomorrow is Ivy's CDT.

I wimp out when it is 40 degrees outside. Y'all are made of tougher stuff than I am! I have one set of twins, a single and had triplets, but the smallest didn't make it. I have 6 more to lamb, 4 are FF.

I don't thin it's tougher, just no choice
Congrats on all your babies.....why have i not seen these posted someplace?
Also sheep could go anytime now since we have no dates on the new flock and our old flock was pasture bred. I'm hoping they all wait until mid-February at least then it will be daytime temps of 30s-40s for the most part.

Thank you much! Easiest way to tell is do the "lambs" have spots?
