Oh, the shot I gave that one lamb seemed to of helped. He was out bouncing around yesterday & this morning.


One spotted ram sold. Two tentatively pending.


Short stampede.


And the jugged ones. Will finish banding them & then start tagging them all today. If the weather stops the darn rain, I'll let some out.

Woke up at 7, Patchie was a little different. Fed everyone else, then moved her into the barn.
Went out at noon to watch, decided to go in around 12:30 because of exceedingly weak efforts to push.
First was small and in the correct position, pulled. Ram.
2nd was head back. Was worried I'd need to get her to the vet, but was able to get the head to stay forward after pushing a left back, pulled. Ram.
Then I left to refill hay. No contractions visible, but baby kept moving into position. Once at the exit, went ahead and gave a light pull. Ewe! Spotted! Keeping her!
Gave them a bottle of colostrum & left them to figure out the rest on their own.
