Our #11 was born this morning sometime between when we fed them till a short while later we were pulling out of the drive going to a gun show. Teresa looked at the hay rack and said which lamb is that laying there?. Neither of us recognized it so we went back and checked and it was a ewe lamb that weighed 9.1 pounds.

6 ewe lambs and 5 ram lambs with only one left to deliver.

#12 is on the ground this morning and we thought we might lose the lamb and possibly the ewe. I was walking up from the shop and saw the ewe laying all by herself and you could see the head and one leg sticking out. She was in distress and had quit squeezing so we called the neighbor for help catching her and went ahead and pulled the lamb. We didn't get the sex yet because we got out of the pen to see if she would go back and claim it which she is now doing.

Pics a little later when she has had some bonding time before we mess with her anymore.
