2016, Waiting on Lambs!

Sold the mix ewe and JamesBond.

3 ewes left, which means 2 ewe lambs have been born thus far and 5 rams! =/
I don't think Surry is bred, she seems to be a slacker in growth. Chocolate seems like her belly has dropped some, both her and Marshmallow have an udder developing.

Lolla is still refusing her lamb. I've decided to keep Lolla locked up for a few weeks to fatten her back up. In that time, her lamb can continue to stay with her and I'll just hold Lolla several times a day so Natalya can drink.

Chiropractor is coming to work on the gelding and we are sanding the horse trailer in between waiting for her. So probably no pics today of sheep.

It's so cute/relaxing to see those little lambs laying in the sunny fields sleeping peacefully. I'm tellin ya... I should have such a hard life! Sorry Lolla is being so uncooperative. Is she an FF or has she lambed before? If she proves out to be a bad mother, what will you do with her?

She had a ram last year and raised him. So I don't relly know why she decided she didn't want her lamb this year...

I let her out and Shelly. Lolla called for her lamb, rarely, but didn't really look for her nor did she let her nurse. Lamb followed the dogs instead and needed rescue while I was stuck on the trailer roof. DH went to find her and put her next to Lolla. She follows mom sometimes, but they don't have a strong bond and you can really see that when watching them.

Guess I lied, got sheep pics! Whoo! Lol.

Chocolate had a black ewe lamb!!

And Natalya snuck in milk and Chocolate didn't shove her off. So I decided to try and graft her on. Time will tell if it works or not.

Got her lamb's birth on video, no assistance, will post it soon.

Darn....as soon as she came out of her birthing trance, she knew which one was hers.
