purplequeenvt Lambing 2016

The blankets look fabulous. I always keep a couple of wool throws on the back of the sofa for watching TV. Much better than cranking up the heat. I carry a couple of wool throws in each car too for emergencies. (Like when my husband cranks the AC up high to stay awake on a long trip and I am wearing a jacket and shivering. LOL!)

Cute goat kids, I really miss our bottle kids. Mama raised babies are not the same, although as I get older, I like mama doing the work! I just miss the loving I used to get from my little dairy kids.
 
The first of the fall 2015 lambs was born this morning. A gorgeous black Border Leicester ewe lamb too!


This is her mother's 2nd lambing THIS YEAR. She lambed in the spring with a nice ewe lamb and we bred her early summer for this lamb.

We only bred a few (5) for fall babies as an experiment. We've never tried for fall lambs before and we are interested to see how they grow compared to spring lambs.
 
With the amount of work lambing season brings why are we so excited about it?! LOL They are so darn cute!
 
I saw this thread over in the recent posts and read over it from start to finish here. I really appreciate the time you take not only in showing photos, but describing the ups and downs of these breedings. I look forward to hearing more about your Fall babies, and wish you the best. I've never had anything other than goats, but this interests me a great deal. Thank you for this thread!
:thumbsup
