Bruce - that computer came from Best Buy.

Most of our sheep will lamb in the open but some of our senior ewes were raised in stalls at their birth farm so they will come in if given the chance.

Your ground looks frosty today.
Thanks for sharing the lambing pictures, your pastures are going to be jumping and bouncing with lambs soon!

A lot of that was snow left over from yesterday but there was also a heavy frost. Of course, the shelter with the heat lamps was empty this morning.

Congratulations on more twins! Looks like one has black spots!

There is some black, brown and even reddish brown on several. I'm curious to see how it holds as they grow bigger.

I haven't been out yet so I'm not sure if there are any new lambs but it is getting busy out there. Teresa captured a picture of one of my favorites (aren't they all?) getting a piece of cracker. They extend their lips to get the cracker and keep their teeth away from my fingers.

One of our senior ewes had a single ewe lamb early this morning which is a first for her since she has always had twins. We still have 3 of the older girls to lamb and then the rest are yearling first timers. Since I had the camera to get a picture of 33 and her lamb for our records, I took a couple of shots of feeding time. There are so many that I also put a few troughs in the chute area do they have plenty of room. Notag has settled down from lambing and I was able to sex her lambs - both of them are ewes.

Awww...… love the lambs! And yes, aren't they ALL favorites? Looks like Maxwell has done a good job!
