Our lambing season started one day later than expected. Our #5 ewe had a nice set of twins and Missy (our 26 ewe that had a C-Section last time had triplets and rejected one of the ram lambs. She rejected Babs last year but we left Babs with the ewe so all we had to do was supplement with milk.

This is the lamb reject. He didn't get much nice treatment from his mom and is adjusting to human company pretty fast with the exception he hasn't figured out how to walk on the hardwood floors.

I haven't taken many pictures out in the field but for some reason, lamb pictures in the home are too cute not to show. Sassy can't figure out why the lamb won't run off when she tries to herd him. :)

We made a run this afternoon to look at some yearling rams. We were looking at yearlings since we won't be breeding again until April of next year. This is the same farm where Cooper that @Baymule now has originated from. We asked Brandon if he had any mature rams that we could check out. He said that he isn't cheap but he showed us a three year old that had bred a very large flock of ewes last year. When he got the ram to move out into the sun, the only thing Teresa and I both just said "Wow". We will go back and pick him up later in the week after we make things ready for him and another ewe that was about as perfect as they get. The picture doesn't due his structure justice, but he is massive and he is on grass only.
