No lambs, they're driving me batty! Why bother with a crayon if they still take so long? =/

Golly, help me! Another messy year!!

I believe that I sorted the lambs to the proper mom, but I will look into and have paternity tests done!

Why?

THREE ewes lambed at the SAME TIME! :barnie:th

Another problem?

TONS of RAMS! :hit:hit


Giant Guinevere had two. Rams, white, touch of head and tail spots & grey patching???

Surry had two. Rams, one black w/faint head spot, one white.

Chocolate had one. Ewe, black, w/faint head spot.


Knowing their history, Choc & Surry, I'm fairly certain that I paired them back up correctly. Two were being cared for their own moms, 3 were all over. Guin's have the same wool type and coloring, other white is very different.


Did I mention that there are a whopping 7 rams and just 3 ewes?!? :rant

Addie & her boys went out today. I forgot to tag and dock Patchie's lamb, so they will go out tomorrow. Sugar's lambs are still being medicated. :(

Had one on the Wait List canceled, another one has been just radio silence, unfortunately.
