We still are on lamb watch. I also don't know what I was looking at with the last set of twins. We were putting on ear tags this afternoon and when I turned the lambs over, they are both ewe lambs instead of one each. :(

Don't think you are the only one who has ever done that:hide.... Had a calf that looked like a little bull from a few feet away... turned out to be a heifer that had little fatty legs and long hair and looked like a bull. We never tag anything anymore until we do the "feel" test... And I really like to see them pee... that's pretty definitive:lol:

Thanks Fred. The lambs so far are much tamer than the previous seasons but I assume it is because the dams are all really docile now. The lambs aren't learning that it's best to run when those mean people approach you. Our first lambing we had to catch them before two days old but now they just walk up and let you pick them up.
