I arrived home to chaos. As soon as I got out of my car, a ewe started calling to me from out in the field. I changed, warmed up the milk for Fyne’s babies, and grabbed a flashlight.
In the maternity ward, Briar had her baby under control. Farr and Fyne’s babies were racing around causing trouble and getting in the middle of Twig and her new baby boys.
Out in the field, I found Imogen (Border Leicester) stuck under the cedar tree. She had picked up a section of fence wire (probably something I missed when installing the woven wire last fall). She had gotten it wrapped around herself and gotten tripped up and cast. She was a little bloated and has a scrape on one of her legs, but she hopped up and dashed off to barn as soon as she was free to catch up on her dinner.
Bramble looks to be in labor and my wifi is still down so I’ll be making several trips out to the barn tonight.
The estimate now for the return of the wifi is tomorrow morning around 9. It really needs to be or I’m going to be beyond stressed at work tomorrow. Freyja, my geriatric, and Symphony, potential triplets are both due tomorrow and Symphony’s udder doubled in size today.
Briar’s beautiful baby girl
Twig’s little boys. They are both brown with a bit of white on their heads. I was really hoping for spots with Twig since she’s spotted, but I guess I should be glad they aren’t since they’re boys.
