2017, Waiting on Lambs ♡

[secuono]

The other two ewes bred today are Latte & Addie.

It has been so warm, can't wait for spring!

Working on tons of little projects, since the ground is mushy and soft.

Got the majority of a catch pen done. Just need to make the squeeze/shute.

Ordered a bunch of wood panels to make 8 lambing jugs along the barn's isle. 4x5ft.

Moved the horse fence so the eroded ground is out of the way. Now the backyard can be a pasture w/o rams climbing fencing.

FatWrinkley is developing an udder!

Sugar seems to have an udder, along with a couple others.
I should take new pics so you guys can start guessing how many they are baking!

Here are some from the other day. A couple look promising for twins.

Got some pics, mostly stuffed with hay, lol.

Alright, you guys can start guessing if you'd like.

Wow, look at all those sheep... And what a great looking pasture/hay field in the background there! Wonder who owns that? No idea on number of potential lambs... All I see is wool. No eye for it with sheep I guess, and not much better with goats

I'm also really bad at it. Twin guesses end up singles, singles end up twins, ugh. I try to imagine them 2in thinner, but it doesn't help.

The horses are using it!
Well, part of it. It's not fully fenced still, so I put up hot wire so they can graze all day over there and come back in with the sheep for the night to fill up on hay.

And I've started trail riding over there, too.

Definitely 17.......absolutely NO idea in reality....they look pretty slim really (accounting for lots of fleece).

Nice looking flock, fantastic set up and fabulous weather.

I'm just going to take a pic of the infernal mud and grot we're having to suffer right now!

Whatever, here's hoping for loads of healthy lambs for you.
