The ewe we call Wild Thang had a single lamb about an hour ago. I had to go out and run off one ewe that was trying to adopt her lamb. I'll get pictures later but his one is probably a long legged 11 pounds or so.

She has a 10.3 pound ram lamb. You can't tell at this point but based on his build we may record him and sell as a commercial ram rather than send him to market. We'll see in about 5 months either way. The ewes moved around enough to all be in the same frame so I went ahead and took the picture. :)

The last picture is our spotted ewe we just call Mama. I like to think she's ready to pop but she is just peacefully laying there.

I took a picture of GeGe also (sh'e the closest in the frame). She is the ewe we bought back in September that has had parasite problems. Her fecal a few days ago was really good and she is starting to put weight back on. Whenever I go out to feed the dogs I always take a feed bucket and she gets it all by herself.
