First time lambing question!

Glad the second arrived without issue!

I like those kind of surprises! Now you have two lambs and your flock is growing. Sheep are fun, they have so much personality. Congrats on the lambs!

Are you going to leave them as rams or castrate them? Does this give you the fever now and do you want more ewes? LOL LOL

I was hoping for ewes to increase my flock, don't know what I am going to do with the little boys! I just don't know if I can part with them! I am already in love with them! Wool sheep are hard to find around here unless you are looking for show lambs and I'm just not into that anymore. For me this is just a fun hobby!

Thank you again everyone for the wonderful advice, help and comments! I survived my first lambing, I feel like there should be a t-shirt or something!
#1 thing I learned was buy a marking harness
#2 no matter how short the ram he can still reach
Thankful I found such a wonderful group to join and ask questions! I am sure there will be more to come! Good luck to all of you out there! Thanks again!

Thank you for posting all this. I think I'm going to be expecting a lamb and this helped me with a few of my problems.
