My plans are to keep the ewe lambs. I did send one to slaughter last year because she didn't grow off well and was small. I kept Lady Baa Baa's ewe lamb from last year, her name is Lily. I also kept Miranda Lambert's ewe lamb from last year, her name is Snowflake and she is starting to show a little bag! 
Miranda had twins last and this year, but her ewe lamb this year had her organs born outside her body and I had to put her down.
Judging from the 3 wethered lambs, my ram is throwing some nice lambs. I will keep all the ewe lambs that I can, breed them back to him, but I won't keep those lambs.
We have Lady Baa Baa closed up in the night pen with her lamb. She was greatly agitated so she gets a few days to herself. Trip is beside himself and wants to be close to her, but she butted him hard, so he is on the outside of the pen, laying up against the wire. Paris is with the rest of the flock. I love my dogs.

DH had his 3rd therapy today and was able, with the help and manipulation of the therapist, to raise his arm higher than he has been able to in YEARS. Mind, he was laying on a table, the therapist was massaging the tendons and muscles, gently raising the arm a tiny bit at a time, but WOW!

Congrats on the lamb Bay!
Glad to hear your DH is recuperating!

Cute lambs, but cute only goes so far. Speaking from the genetic point of view, keeping a ewe lamb from a ewe that produces a single lamb is going backwards in the flocks' production as that trait is inherited. Chances are that these ewe lambs will also produce single lambs. From the financial point of view one would be wise to sell those ewe lambs and buy other ewe lambs whose mothers have a history of producing twins. Would you be satisfied with less than 100% ( figuring in losses ) lamb crop or 140% to 200% lamb crop be better ?My plans are to keep the ewe lambs.
