We are Thankful for good neighbors.

We thought we were going to lose the lamb for sure and I think next season we won't feed quite so well. We haven't weighed this one yet but I'm guessing she (it is a ewe lamb) will be pushing 12 lbs.

I'm also that we planned ahead enough to build this pen as a catch pen or we never would have caught the ewe.

I couldn't get a good picture since there are 3 lambs and their moms in the nursery and everybody keeps photo bombing. The ewe lamb is 11.2 lbs.

The final count is 7 ewe lambs and 5 ram lambs.

This being our first lambing experience we feel very lucky that most things went off without too many glitches and we are also very happy to have this season come to an end.

Congrats on such a great lambing season! So glad the last one went well, that you were there at a critical moment in time to help both lamb and ewe make it - you're getting some really good experience and doing very well.

:celebrate Congrats!! Birthing season is always better when it's over. Your herd is very nice and you did well on the ratios of boy/girl.

So, now comes the "what to do with them" phase. :lol:
